Johnny Weissmuller, whose waist measurement outgrew his Tarzan role, was forced to keep in trim for his Jungle Jim role, even with clothes on. The incentive: if he weighs in for a picture at more than 190 pounds, his contract makes him forfeit $5,000 for each overweight pound up to ten.

Just Hang On. When Brand began his experiment, he hid the straitjackets to keep other attendants from using them. Now, he says with a grin, he has forgotten where he hid them. There is also less need, he finds, for "chemical restraint" (sedative drugs). When a new patient arrives, often in a straitjacket, Brand has a technique: "I give them a good talking to.
