[net.startrek] Dishes Best Served Cold

     Some time ago there was a discussion of where the quote Kahn says in
ST II about revenge came from.  In the 1949 movie _Kind_Hearts_And_Coronets_
starring Dennis Price and Alec Guinness, Dennis Price - as Louis Mazzini, as
he kills off the members of the Burgoyne family one by one (who are all played
by Alec Guiness) so he can become Duke - says;

     'Time had brought me revenge on Lionel, and as the Italian proverb says;
Revenge is a dish which people of taste prefer to eat cold.'

     (Maybe the Godfather had Klingon relations)
