...least not so sparkly. Now Gene Hackman can be more than a cog in a lulling machine (2 complex contraption with a cash register attached), and this new non-commercial version of the trials of Popeye Doyle in search of Frog One--a major supplier of New York's heroin--is therefore a great deal more interesting. Doyle was originally the kind of cop that would yank people out of phone booths and throw them out on their ear if he wanted to call headquarters. And while we were supposed to like him, his temper--the man pounding furiously...
...French Connection. In fact, the unfinished business seemed just the point: that the French dope dealer so passionately pursued by the American cops could slip smoothly away through a massive stakeout and leave the country. The Frenchman was the source connection responsible for bringing in vast quantities of heroin from Marseille to New York. Frog One, Popeye Doyle called him, and the fact that he could get away nearly unruffled, meant simply that the law could never catch up with the main...
...commercials. Her biggest chance was being cast for a part in The Asphalt Jungle for a couple of weeks before another fringe performer named Marilyn Monroe took it away from her.

...doctor she called, saved a man's life (TIME, March 3). Last September she attended a party at Millionaire-Weirdo Ken Moss's with a couple of musician friends, where what they thought was cocaine was free for the snorting. It turned out to be heroin. One man, Robbie Mclntosh, a drummer, died of the stuff. But Cher (as she testified last month before a grand jury that indicted Moss for murder) took Alan Gorrie, a bass player, home with her and kept him walking around to prevent him from lapsing into a coma. It was strong evidence...
...doctors from nine institutions under a grant from N.I.N.D.S. The researchers studied 503 seriously ill or severely injured patients whose brains had apparently stopped functioning. In each case, the doctors determined whether this lack of brain activity was caused by a drastically lowered body temperature, by drugs (tranquilizers, heroin, or barbiturates mixed with alcohol can result in a flat EEG), or by injuries or ailments. They also tested the patient's ability to respond to various stimuli (most unconscious people, for example, will blink at a loud noise) and found out whether they could breathe unaided. When temperature...
