REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD

   This is the title of an opinion in today's LOS ANGELES TIMES, 12 September 2001, pg. B-9.  It's also the slogan of a new movie, DINNER RUSH (www.DinnerRush.com).
   It's not in my Stevenson book of quotations.  It goes back to about 1986 on the Dow Jones database, where it was cited as an old Sicilian proverb.
