And what a simpler time it was. "Apprehended Joe Gulch attempting to use a 
canceled stamp on a post card. Picked him up. You figure it out." "Joe Gulch 
was executed on February 5th." "Clank..clank.." Dum--da--dum--dum.

Miklos Rozsa successfully sued over that 4-note motif and his name is now on 
record labels along with Walter Schuman's. If you ever watch "The Killers" 
you'll know why he won.
