...1960s, when Jack Nicholson was gracing drive-in screens in horror movies. In writing the story, Cocks drew on correspondents' files and the research aid of Pat Gordon, taking time out for a few quick antiaircraft battles at his favorite pinball parlor. The writing done, he turned his manuscript over to Senior Editor Martha Duffy, who asked Cocks to wait while she gave his piece a once-over reading. "I'm going to the movies," he announced. "You're what?" said Duffy. "To the movies," repeated Cocks, already out of the office door. "I've gotta...
