...after Thanksgiving, Faithfull is even thinking about a small tour. If asked, she will consider seeing the Stones again ("I would like to see them, perhaps just once, to acknowledge my past, give it a bow"), but speaks with real respect and affection about the caring attention of her friend Island Records Founder Chris Blackwell. Under his benign guidance, she felt "no pressure to do anything. I was given a little allowance, a house was found, and . . . live your life a day at a time. And I did that.

...Mickey Mouse doll and Mother Goose (each $60), as well as dancing Disney figures called Little Boppers ($20). WOW is especially proud of Julie (up to $125), which it claims is the "most sophisticated toy ever to be introduced in America . . . and still a little girl's best friend." A voice- recognition system allows Julie to "understand" questions. If a child asks, "Are you hungry?" the doll is programmed to respond with a bright "I'm hungry. Let's eat!" The doll can also sense changes in temperature and may ask for a sweater if it is taken outside. Julie...
