> 21)"They are in love. Fuck the war" (42.2) Is this just 
>hippy-dippy naivety? Or can you really say this?

     Go, Murthy!
     
     Also re Roger and Jessica:  As far as terminology is concerned, I am 
     embarrassed (it's our bailiwick here, after all, as many of you may 
     know) to say that I had never heard the term "cute meet" used in 
     the film/entertainment business.  I have done a bit of research in 
     film dictionaries and the like, but can't come up with the origin of 
     the phrase.  It likely dates from the forties, no?  Before?  Anybody?
