[AGL] The Queen/Cormac

[Gerry]

Love Helen Mirren. Did your read the NY'er profile of her awhile back? When
asked how her career had moved so swiftly in her early years she replied,
"Being a blonde with big tits was an enormous advantage..."

Guess you all know that Cormac McCarthy has a new book out, "The Road". You
talk about a strange tale...no Mexican whore houses in this one. The man is
an American treasure.
