Alex was a charismatic prodigy of science and friendship and progressive hell raising who opted out of academe to try social work, then manual labor, then suicide. He is presented as a victim of terminal decompression from the orbital flight of his college years: a worst-case scenario his friends must ponder, probing themselves for symptoms of the disease...

...neophyte actor took a couple of Richard Pryor hand-me-down roles and parlayed them into movie stardom. In 48 HRS., released last Christmas, Murphy played a sassy convict sprung from stir for two days to help Tough Cop Nick Nolte catch a couple of killers. The film's director, Walter Hill, says of Eddie: "This kid is so enormously talented he can get away with anything." This time Eddie ran away with the movie: 48 HRS., for which he was paid $200,000, has tallied an imposing $78 million at the box office...
