...house perched on acres of shady lawn, and crime is a plot device in a P.D. James novel. Recently, though, the disappearance of one of Morris Township's most respected citizens has brought in a gust of the world outside. Sidney Reso, the 57-year-old president of Exxon International, vanished, his car left idling at the end of his driveway, as he headed for work on the morning of April 29, and no one has seen him since...

These days, morphing is everywhere. The swamis at Pacific Data Images -- one of the half a dozen California studios competing with ILM -- devised the | melting pot of faces for Michael Jackson's Black or White. Pacific has also changed a car into a running tiger for Exxon and morphed a man's face into a block for Schick razors. The process can be used to fuse separate takes of a scene or restore damaged film frames...
