"If anyone disagrees with anything I say, I am quite prepared not only to
retract it, but also to deny under oath that I ever said it." -Tom Lehrer
I just worry that he'll push this aside if he's writing movies for stars
like Clint Eastwood to direct....and actors as big as Angelina Jolie to make
them (re 'Changeling'). But I guess no one could blame him if he
did....heck, he's hit the big time!
