...their public image, by and large, is still impeccable. To be sure, there have been exceptions, like the psychiatrist played by Leo G. Carroll in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound, who shot his colleague, and the one currently played by Michael Caine in Dressed to Kill, who sports a blond wig and goes after patients with razors. But such methods are unorthodox. The image most people carry of psychiatrists is that of Lee J. Cobb in The Three Faces of Eve -gentle, calm, kind, the sort of person you would entrust with your mother. You remember your mother...
King dubs this inflammatory forte "pyrokinesis," a combination of the Greek words meaning fire and movement. Blond, pigtailed, eight-year-old Charlie McGee is so hyperpyrokinetic (she can project 30,000°) that she is judged capable of melting whole cities and "eventually creating a nuclear explosion simply by the force of her will...

The result: the deep blue Clipper and a helmsman brash enough to be Turner's son. "Ted peaked out in 1977," says Long...
...lead singer of Blondie. But given the mega-figure offer she got to model Murjani jeans, perhaps the iconoclastic fans of rock s new wave will understand why their darling became a tool of bourgeois fashion. Taping her second TV commercial for the hot-selling trousers, Blondie's blond took a philosophical view of her new ad venture. "I have been promoting the greatest American product, rock 'n' roll.
