A very Dangerous thing is being sold on Amazon..it's the Warner Classics Mega Collection--something my public sector job won't let me afford in one go..but it is singing its siren song..it includes the beautiful: Freaks- Gaslight-The thin Man Collection-Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder, Stage Fright, Strangers on A Train, Suspicion -And last but not least a film I have seen even more times than Waiting for Guffman: A night at the Opera.

I have a huge crush on Justice Potter Stewart's voice..you can hear him on the audio for the Roe v. Wade oral arguments before the Supreme court..here is a transcript so you can follow it..He was also on the bench for the following: Gideon v. Wainright, NYT v. Sullivan, Griswold v. Connecticut (good to know if you are interested in Roe v. Wade) Miranda v. Arizona (That's why people under arrest hear "You have the right to remain silent..", Loving v Virginia, NYT v. US (The Pent. Papers Case), Furman v Georgia (death penalty= unconstitutional) and Gregg v Georgia (which brought the death penalty back) and tons of other cases that are just as interesting..Ahh Potter, the only Republican I find attractive..
