Philosophers expected him to fulfill Rousseau's ideal of the "Noble Savage," while a new breed of doctors eyed him for a test of behavior modification. So many ogling spectators filled the streets when Victor was first taken to Paris, in fact, that he became victor and began to bite the scores of outstretched hands...

The zest of MetroNews comes from the ham and hard-boiled-egg match-up of extrovert Anchor Man Charles Rowe, 37, and Reporter-Inquisitor Charles Ashman, 40. A bionic-perfect baritone, Rowe is the ideal foil for Ashman, a sardonic "everyman" who shows up each night with yesterday's stubble.
