      Someone elsewhere observed that you could tell the age of the audience of a news outlet by the film associated with Goldman's name in the headline. Some mention Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; others as above mention The Princess Bride.

      “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
      One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
      The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
