He pried it open with a crowbar and immediately smelled a "faint decaying smell, like a dead animal." Next he sprang the lock on the steamer trunk. The newspapers inside were dated August and September 1977. Under them was Styrofoam packing material. Chitwood scooped through it until he came to something he couldn't identify at first, and then it was clear. A hand. A human hand...

He played with a silver goatee and casually acknowledged Flodin, who smiled from the back of the courtroom, wearing a bright layered get-up that looked as if it were stolen from the closet of Pippi Longstocking. The Unicorn had had a long time to write himself a new speech, but it must have been 16 years of writer's block.

She stars as the glamorous Veronica ("Ronnie") Chase, a lingerie mogulette saddled with a philandering husband and cheeky employees who suggest she pose for the company's ads by having her head morphed onto someone else's body. As she did on Cheers, Alley mines the insecurities behind her character and herself. "Ronnie," she admits, "is an exaggerated version of me"--right down to the weight problems and the messy public divorce. Alley separated last year from Stevenson, her husband of 13 years...
David Caruso, back from his impressive work on such motion picture successes as "Jade," headlines "Michael Hayes," the story of an idealistic prosecutor who battles crime and never smiles. Kirstie Alley, also bearing the laurels of an auspicious foray into film, is the star of "Vernoica's Closet," a sophisticated comedy about women's undergarments. These two programs, representative of the larger offerings, are clearly not to be missed...
