Wasn't the song written by Jim Steinman, who also wrote the songs
for Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" album? The song was also sung/
lip-synched by Diana Lane (?) in the movie "Streets of Fire".


REQUIRED QUOTE:

In answer to those who excuse abuse with that quote about 'absolute 
power corrupting absolutely" I always liked the come-back from Marcus
Aurelius (last of the Roman Barracks Emperors, 121-180 AD) given
in his "Meditations", book 5:

	"Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible;
	 life in a palace is possible; therefore even in a palace
	 a right life is possible."

As well as 

	"A little flesh, a little breath, and a Reason to rule all -
	 that is myself."		- book 2

	"To refrain from imitation is the best revenge."    - b.6

	"To stand up -- or be setup?"	- b.6

	"A man does not sin by commission only, but often by 
	 ommission."	- b.9

	"A candour affected is a dagger concealed."	- b.9

   No need to get uptight about the issue.  Your quotation was duly
   indented an extra level beyond that of the immediately preceding

   indicator and so I indent, as do many, many others on the Usenet.  Any
   one using a reasonably modern newsreader which supports threading and

     She was a writer from the 20's through the 50's.  One of the
founders of New Yorker; Drama critic, short story, verse and
screenplay writer.  Known for her cutting wit, and being especially
tough as a book and drama reviewer.  She wrote reviews under the name
"Constant Reader" in the New Yorker in the aforementioned years.  Died in 1967.

Two quotes, both in refernce to Clair Boothe Luce:

     Someone told Parker that Luce was always kind to her inferiors; Parker
replied "Where does she find them?"

     On another occasion, the two women arrived at the door at the same
time.  Luce said "Age before beauty" motioning for Paker to enter first.
As she walked through the door, Parker replied "And Pearls before Swine."
