How ironic. I had to memorize the preamble to the constitution at school as
punishment for swearing.
I don't remember the Elizabeth Taylor movie, I only go back to butterfield
eight.

On Criticism.
Oops--sorry--I sent without wiriting my message.
I memorized the preamble because there was a delightful movie, in the
late '40s or early 50's, with a young and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, Roddy
McDowell, (I think) and Jose Iturbi, which she recited, very rapidly, the
Preamble when she was angry, and I thought that was much better than swearing
(which w e weren't allowed to do and I didn't know how howt o do. smile
Perhaps one of you who are my contemporaries will remember the name of
the movie. IMDB failed me. It only has recent movies when I looked under
Taylor's name. I thought it was The Ambassador's daughter but it wan't the one
listed there.
