...didn't become the Broadway magnet she should have been. In the late '50s she had featured roles in The Mark of the Hawk, with Poitier, and St. Louis Blues, with Nat "King" Cole, and the lead in Anna Lucasta, a daring B film with Sammy Davis Jr. She cut a powerful figure in all these films, but they were small pictures that didn't lead to strong roles in Hollywood's top-line productions. As for the Catwoman gig, Kitt appeared in only three episodes. And before she could truly cash in, her addiction to truth-telling...

Depending on where you live in the country - or even where you live in your city - the same array of photovoltaic solar panels can produce enough electricity to power your house with watts to spare, or barely cut a nickel from your utility bill. It all comes down to the precise amount of sunlight that hits your roof. But while we all know that San Antonio gets more sunny days than Seattle, what about one part of San Antonio compared to another? One block of downtown Seattle compared...
