Discretion may have been imposed upon Lenny's creators by their obligation to protect his survivors. But the film is equally without insight on a less private issue. It fails to explore why sudden and belated celebrity can bend the minds of lifelong flops like Bruce. It afflicts such people with a belief that now, having paid heavy dues, they are entitled to act out all their long-suppressed fantasies of power.

Titled The Monopoly Book (what else?), it was written by Lifelong Player Maxine Brady, 33, a writer and lecturer who is married to Chess Writer and Arbiter Frank Brady.

...study conducted among 1,700 women at 34 institutions suggests that the operation, which can produce lifelong pain, weakness and periodic swelling in the affected arm, may be unnecessary in some cases. Doctors divided women whose cancers had not yet been found by clinical examination to have infiltrated the lymph nodes into three groups and gave one radical mastectomies, another total mastectomies (removal of the entire breast but no other tissue) coupled with radiation, and the third total mastectomies but no other treatment...
