David Mamet wrote a play called Speed-the-Plow, a satire on Hollywood. It's been said by some critics that his use of the old English farming phrase in the title is an ironic comparison between the staid and wholesome life of the 16th century English farmer and the glitzy amorality of the 20th century Hollywood producer. Or not. In any event, nobody has apparently been able to figure out why-the-hyphens. Aloha, Mark
