| tool@panix.com (Dan Blum): Jul 30 11:54PM > 4 Which American performer won the Original Song Academy Award in 1994 for the theme to Streets of Philadelphia? There is an error in this question - the song was indeed titled "Streets of Philadelphia" but the movie was just "Philadelphia". -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |

Protest denied. When giving the current answer you have to allow for not all the facts in the question still being current, in this case the fact that the most recent such VP was not the current one. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind." msb@vex.net | -- Foreign Correspondent |
