   they should be able to set themselves up as kings.  And the scheme   
   almost works.  Almost.  Originally this film was to be made with   
   Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart.  It was a project that John   
   Huston planned for decades before the film could finally be made.   
   THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING is adventure writ large.  This is a   
   smart, enjoyable, exciting adventure film, superbly written.   
   Christopher Plummer is perfect as Rudyard Kipling.  Also on hand   
   is popular Indian actor Saeed Jaffrey.  The dialog between Caine   
   and Connery is priceless.  I give this film a very strong   
   recommendation.

   TOPIC: Questions and Answers Quotation (letter of comment by Steve   
   Milton)   
      
   In response to the quotation at the end of the 02/21/25 issue of   
   the MT VOID, Steve Milton writes:   
      
   Decouvertes does not look like a real name. Is it a pseudonym?   
   [-smm]   
      
   Evelyn responds:   
      
   Good catch!  It may be a publisher or company; the original quote   
   ("It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.") is by   
   that great fantasy author, Eugene Ionescu.  [-ecl]

   TOPIC: This Week's Reading (book comments by Evelyn C. Leeper)   
      
   I have had little time to read and even less to write a column.   
   But I can put in at least one book comment: in DEATH ON THE NILE   
   by Agatha Christie, if Jackie makes only 200 pounds a year, how   
   could she afford to follow Simon and Linnet to Egypt?   
      
   If all goes as planned, a full column will return next week.
