...secretary in one scene. In the next, she tears into her closet for a vinyl raincoat, rushes to her sewing machine, and easily puts together a skin-tight catsuit. The image of a distraught working woman drinking straight from a carton of milk (Spilling most of it over her chest) made for a great promo spot. But if there is any connection between her character and cats (other than the fact that she feeds several strays), I couldn...

This much can be stated with certainty: on the night of March 10, 1981, in the town of Grundy, a young woman named Wanda Fay McCoy was raped, stabbed twice in the chest and slashed across the neck with such force that the gash, 4 in. wide and 2 in. deep, cut almost to her spinal cord.

...Procter & Gamble, charging that a company pulp mill has polluted the water around the town of Perry. Two weeks ago, she was attacked at her remote fishing camp by three men who beat her and burned her with a cigar. The men cut her on the cheek and chest and poured water from the contaminated river on the wounds, taunting her, she says, with the words "This is what you get for trying to make us lose our jobs."
