Note
The theme is really simple, but not your conventional theme round.
By conventional,
I mean,
Ans 1- Chrome
' " 2- Larry Page
" " 3- YouTube
" " 4- Googol
Therefore, Theme is GOOGLE.
No, not this kind. The ongoing theme isn't that direct.
Club all the answers, and you'll have your answer,
But you might have to look at the answers in a different way. If you don't, you won't connect :P

Question 647 c: He's a thief. One thinks it's Peer pressure.
The Encyclopedia Britannica quotes,
Id the subject.
Reminder: The main challenge is the Theme, not the individual question :)
At ---- he wasn't understood till he met with his audience of fellow disciples of --- at the Jacobin Club. His fanaticism won him supporters; his singularly sweet and sympathetic voice gained him hearers; and his upright life attracted the admiration of all. As matters approached nearer and nearer to the terrible crisis, he failed, except in the two instances of the question of war and of the king's trial, to show himself a statesman, for he had not the liberal views and practical instincts which made Mirabeau and Danton great men. His admission to the Committee of Public Safety gave him power, which he hoped to use for the establishment of his favourite theories, and for the same purpose he acquiesced in and even heightened the horrors of the Reign of Terror ... ______'s private life was always respectable: he was always emphatically a gentleman and man of culture, and even a little bit of a dandy, scrupulously honest, truthful and charitable. In his habits and manner of life he was simple and laborious; he was not a man gifted with flashes of genius, but one who had to think much before he could come to a decision, and he worked hard all his life.
