<p> <span>Thanks, Margaret,</span> </p>

<p> <span>I believe your explanation more than the

(“The
Ring”) where the heavy Valkyrie heroine Brunhilde sings the last song.</span></p>

Hi Fritz,<br>
<br>
I was flying home from Thailand on Saturday and reading the Herald
Tribune which I got on the flight. In it was a cartoon featuring Hilary
Clinton. In the first box Hilary Clinton was saying, "It ain't over
'til the fat lady sings" and in the second box they had <span>the
heavy Valkyrie heroine Brunhilde singing behind Clinton. I guess it's
over. :-)<br>
