...most frustrating fixture of all, in Kira's view, is the tub-shower. "The only substantive reason for taking a tub bath is to relax," he maintains, "and yet it is precisely this that the vast majority of tubs have not permitted the user to do." The tub should be longer (6 ft., v. the standard 5 ft.) and wider, have a contoured back to fit the curvature of the spine, a comfortable place to sit while foot washing and shampooing, and a hand spray for rinsing.

After such tales come bleaker stories and pleas for spiritual help from listeners who have written letters or who call into a busy bank of phones. "We lift before you the prayer requests in the name of Jesus," intones the M.C., raising aloft a batch of letters. "We rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus...
