  Born to Run - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born to Run is a rock album by singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music).
His third album, Born to Run was Springsteen's breakthrough hit and launched his career in the United States and around the world.
In terms of the original LP's sequencing, Springsteen adopted a "four corners" approach, as the songs beginning each side ("Thunder Road", "Born to Run") were uplifting odes to escape, while the songs ending each side ("Backstreets", "Jungleland") were sad epics of loss, betrayal, and defeat.

 Born Free - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born Free is a 1966 motion picture written by Hollywood fllisted writer Lester Cole using the pseudonym "Gerald L.C. Copley." His screenplay was based upon the true-life 1960 international bestselling book written by Joy Adamson about her, her game warden husband, George Adamson, and Elsa, the orphaned cub lioness they raised while living in Kenya.
The film is noted for its soundtrack composed by John Barry that, in addition to winning two Academy Awards, became a pop music hit for Roger Williams and for Matt Monro who sang the title song in the film.
The making of the film was a life-changing experience for actors Virginia McKenna and her husband Bill Travers who became animal rights activists and who were instrumental in creating the Born Free Foundation.

Born Free motorhomes have always been long on luxury, with solid-wood cabinets; quality seating, countertops, and appliances; and compact, well-planned bathrooms, but with economy of space a hallmark.

 Born Free McKenna's elephantine plea- The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Today, Virginia McKenna, star of the 1964 cult animal classic film 'Born Free', is still passionate about animals' right to be remain free but right now, her attention is entirely focused on the six-year-old Bangalorean female elephant Veda.
Veda's fate is of abiding interest to McKenna and her worldwide band of animal rights campaigners because New Delhi pledged the female elephant some years ago to the Armenian president and thereby, the sub-zero conditions of Yerevan zoo in the country's capital.
'Born Free', the film, memorably adapted the true life story of Joy Adamson and her gamekeeper husband George, as they set about raising three lion cubs in the wilds of Kenya.

The last time I saw Born Free must have been when I was 8 years old.
FSM's latest release of Born Free allows fans to experience the richness of Barry's score, which is alternately playful, pastoral, haunting and suspenseful, with a touch of African flavor, and the easily gushing romantic style that is a John Barry trademark.
Despite the title song, which may be inextricably associated as a pop hit of the 1960's, Barry's score never comes off as "dated", which should make this an easily accessible score for even the most discerning of long-time listeners, as well as film-score newcomers.

 Are Men Born Free and Equal (1890)
When, however, he asserted that men were born free and equal, and that civilisation had destroyed to a perilous extent their natural freedom and equality, he never meant to say–as Professor Huxley makes him say–that the physical and intellectual faculties of individuals were uniform in quality.
He meant that men are born equal, inasmuch as they are subject to the same laws and entitled to the same advantages.
The series of questions with which he cross-examines modern democrats on the thesis that "all men are born free and equal" is surely a reductio ad absurdum of the quasi-scientific manner.

Her teaching, against all odds, was effective: three years later, the Adamsons took Elsa to a place near that of her birth and set her loose, hoping that she would find her "real pride" among other lions of the Kenya grasslands--as she soon did.
It is a paradox that she wanted the best for animals on the one hand, and yet helped her husband, George, run a safari touring company and thus was responsible for the deaths of many, many "born free" animals.
The truth is, after you read BORN FREE, you will feel yourself more of a lion than before, and you will realize that their apparently unreachable inner life isn't all that mysterious if you have love and compassion in your hearts for the lower forms of life.
