Blitz Campaign. Nevertheless, nothing clicked. "Munster Mansion," their old, 23-room Gothic home in Newport, R.I., became Bleak House. During the winter, they left their driveway unshoveled to discourage bill collectors. When their credit ran out on heating oil, they chopped up furniture to build a fire. One weekend they ended up with nothing in the house to eat except chocolate and marshmallows. Bud figured that promotion, transportation and the cost of musical instruments had put him $100,000 in debt. Just before panic set in, a New York talent management firm lined them up with MGM Records. Now their...
Admittedly, it is a dicey proposition: Daphne is hardly escapist fare. Sandy plays the suicidal widow of a movie star; her co-star plays a man who has just run over his son in a driveway accident. But Sandy, chewing over and blowing her lines at rehearsals, is so hyped up about the Boston opening Sept. 4 that some fear she may blow all the fuses.

Today, mother and father hold court in a trim bungalow in Louisville. In the driveway stand two castoff Cadillacs from Cassius, "His" and "Hers." Odessa still tries to keep a semblance of cool around the house, while Old Cassius tromps around thinking up ideas for commercial schemes-food endorsements, perhaps a nationwide chain of "Clay's Kitchens" or "Clay's Whatnot Shops...
...home in Cincinnati's suburb of Clifton. Some time during the night before, she had returned home from her daughter's nearby apartment. When she got out of her station wagon, she was clubbed on the head so hard that her dental plate popped out in the driveway. She was dragged by the heels into the garage. She was strangled with the cord of the red bathrobe she wore. She was raped, and her limp body was carefully arranged in a position of obscene exhibitionism...
