...jokes about her weight and looks were discontinued. This season, notes Ed Weinberger, executive producer of the Mary Tyler Moore Show: "we've cut out man-chasing jokes." The reason? Valerie joined Weight Watchers and dropped from 160 Ibs. to 140. Now, in order to remain a plausibly bachelor career girl, she tones down her striking good looks beneath caftans and kimonos and by appearing with unwashed hair...
...Houston, Dean Allen Corll was a clean-cut, quiet neighbor who kept pretty much to himself. He seemed to be a "nice, polite man who loved to be around kids," one acquaintance recalled. Last week stunned residents of Pasadena had a different view of the 33-year-old bachelor electrician who had been their neighbor since June.

I would have obligations elsewhere." He has holed up in the same book-littered flat for 16 years, sometimes choosing not even to answer his phone. He dresses with studied shabbiness and cultivates an aversion for big hotels, big parties and fancy restaurants. "He hates anything fashionable," says Actor Malcolm McDowell. "If we go to a restaurant and there are socialites there, he gets up and leaves...
