CONGRADULATIONS TO: (1) fortune!grw - Glenn (2) Jerry Greenberg (3) John Eaton and (4) Steve Nelson. W. C. Fields - The interesting part is that WC haggled over the pay. He was offered (back then) $75,000 to perform the part. He demanded $100,000 or no contract. I believe WC probably regreted he missed that oppotunity. Ernie Arias AT&T-ISL Lincroft, NJ
