 Yes, TSW was also the first song I had heard from the album, and thought 
it to be quite promising.
 As for her voice, well, yes, I don't think it's quite as good as on her 
previous albums. Just doesn't have a certain "quality" that made her 
sound so great on her other albums. Like on "Wuthering Heights," (both 
versions), for example. But the album IS growing on me. It just appeals 
to me in a different way than her others ones that I have.

 (Hey! Somebody who FINALLY recognized the quote! <grin> )
 The only thing that I know of is that there was a mini-series planned 
that didn't go through, as well as a movie that didn't go through. 
Hmmmm.. As I look through my biography here, I see some mention of a 
possible movie version (book's dated 1986). 
 Kate as Dagny? Hmmm.. Yes, I think I could see it! (Although, of course, 
I think >I< should get the part. :)
