...rare instances during the term when the court failed to defer to a lawmaking body. It yielded to Congress (on all-male draft registration and tough strip-mine controls), to the Executive Branch (on passport powers and strict standards for cotton dust and lead in factories) and to states (on televising trials and the double celling of prisoners).

Morgan plays a TV newscaster who catches the evil eye of a psychotic viewer with more on his mind than pillow talk. The actress certainly seems to cotton to her satin sheet role. "I'm so tired of menacing everyone," she says. "Now at last I get to be menaced." Though the part alters her wicked persona, Morgan has not grown too big for her bitches. This fall, she will return to roost on Flamingo Road...
