...Finally we had to say, 'Hey, lady, it's just a story.' " Just a story? Tell that to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who slips away from deliberations to ponder Days of Our Lives; to Sammy Davis Jr., who is such a fan of Love of Life that he made a guest appearance on it; to former Texas Governor John Connally or Andy Warhol, who are among the 10 million followers of As the World Turns, or to Novelist Dan Wakefield, who often bursts into tears at 12:30 when the plangent music of All My Children wells...
