Constantly taunting LeFranc and doting on Green Eyes, Maurice, played by Jessie Cohen, is the crucial tragic link between the two dominant men. Cohen delivers her performance with coquettish finesse, though it often becomes more irritating than attractive. Through her ability to bring out Maurice's naivete and fragile ego, she succeeds in shaping the tragic victim of masculine power games.

The first episode takes place in China, where Moyers is guided through that country's ancient medical traditions by Dr. David Eisenberg, who studied there in the 1970s. Herbalists, acupuncturists and massage therapists all tell of the mysterious mental-physical energy known as qi (pronounced chee), which pervades both mind and body and is the basis for good health...
...prostate cancer as men who have not had the operation. Harvard's Dr. Edward Giovannucci, who directed both studies, speculates that the reduction in seminal fluids to the prostate gland could trigger the development of a malignancy. But no one knows for certain how that might happen. Moreover, the link is relatively weak. Men who smoke, by comparison, are 17 times as likely as nonsmokers to develop lung cancer...
