	Sorry, but the word used was "attractive" which to me ==
	pretty.  You want me to answer Nancy Reagan, Maggie Thatcher,
	or Jeane Kirkpatrick use the word "admired" (though Nancy
	will never be my response).

	I think the problem with this and other surveys is the language
	used.  Ask me who are the three "sexiest" women, and you'll
	get a different response than from the three most "beautiful".

	Why not survey for the most "marriable" ?  Isn't that what you
	want ?
