	There is a columnist named Doris Anderson who puts her thoughts
in the Toronto Star every Saturday.  Usually she writes about social issues.
On Saturday, August 3/85 her column was devoted to the problems women have
finding a good man.  In light of what Seth has just stated I provide a
(somewhat paraphrased) approximate quote from Ms. Anderson's article:

	"Women scan the streets looking for Rambo, hoping that he will
turn into a Care Bear after the wedding."

	(I don't believe that this is true of all women -- but it
certainly is true of some.)
