NP: Titanic

[Elaine M.M. Bell]

*Henry--Thanks for the best Titanic review ever!  I once did a two-minute
recap of the 3hr14minute oeuvre in my kitchen, which largely consisted of
my turning on lots of water, yelling "Jack!" and "Rose!" and jumping off
tables...my  then-15-year-old daughter was not amused.  But you're wrong
about the identity of the ship.  Everybody knows it was Tyler Durden.*
