...confirmed with a kiss from the British star of My Fat Friend Lynn Redgrave. "I used to be scared working in New York," she cooed to the patrolmen, "but this time I notice a huge difference." Two years ago, 60 actors, including Hal Holbrook, Julie Harris and Joan Hackett petitioned the city for better protection of the grubby Great White Way. It was claimed that actors could not step outside the greenroom without getting goosed or mugged. Today, says A Little Night Music's Hermione Gingold, "There are far less evil-looking people around."

...pains to bury the thematic superficiality beneath a superstructure of desperate metaphor and elaborate production. The movie is rendered largely in frosty, antiseptic hues, giving every scene the air of the laboratory. The hospital where the operation is performed on Benson (George Segal) is called Babel.

At 71, Erickson stands in the forefront of a revival of hypnotherapy-in eclipse since Freud rejected it as too superficial and impermanent. "Erickson is the most innovative practitioner of hypnosis since Mesmer," says Dr. Thomas Hackett, chief of the psychiatric consultation service at Massachusetts General Hospital. Although Erickson sometimes uses deep hypnotic trances to work his will on his psychiatric patients, he often limits himself to straightforward commands. He does not, however, explain the exact psychological mechanism behind his cures...
Freezer Run. The bargain hunters seem to fall into two camps: those determined to eat as much meat as ever and others willing to use high-protein alternatives to some extent. Mrs. Hackett, the lamb-and-goat lady from La Grange, speaks for the carnivores: "I know there are a lot of women who are going to ride it out with eggs and cheese, but I want meat...
