Norman Lear, creator-producer of the Maude series, developed the simplistic two-part story because a member of his family took lithium for manic-depression "and I have personally seen the results."

Kline, a lithium enthusiast who has treated some 2,000 patients with the drug. Kline's book on depression, From Sad to Glad, was plugged on the Maude show...

Chacun a son gout...
...creator of one of cinema's most varied and successful bodies of work; in addition to 2001, it includes Paths of Glory, Lolita, Doctor Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange. He enjoys the rare right to final cut of his film without studio advice or interference. Warner executives were not permitted to see more than a few bits of it until the completed version -take it or leave it-was screened for them just three weeks ago.
