...research for products like sushi-on-a-stick. In NBC's My Two Dads, two bachelors get joint custody of a twelve-year-old girl, whom one of them -- no one knows which -- has fathered. Again, they are a contrasting pair: Greg Evigan is a free-spirited artist, Paul Reiser a compulsive financial analyst who describes himself as a "coffee achiever." In CBS's Leg Work, a former assistant D.A. (Margaret Colin) goes into the private-eye business, but seems to spend less time solving crimes than caring for her Porsche and commiserating with girlfriends about the dating scene...
...Matt Reiser had a date with Cheryl Burress last Tuesday night in Bergenfield, N.J., near New York City, but at 6:30 Cheryl called to cancel. "We can't get together tonight," she told Reiser. "We're going to visit Joe." Reiser thought he knew what she meant. Joe Major, a friend of Cheryl's, had fallen 200 ft. to his death off the Palisades cliffs along theHudson River last September in what police considered an alcohol-related accident, and Reiser figured that Cheryl was planning to visit Major's grave that night, as she had many times before. Reiser...
...weight. Bishop (Lance Henriksen), an android who proves himself a distinct improvement over the traitor robot of the first film. Bishop offers a prejudice Ripley has to overcome and, in the end, some surprising heroics for the audience to cheer. The other outsider is a different case. Burke (Paul Reiser) is a junior executive in "the company," the monopoly that has all of space to profit from. He has absorbed its corporate culture all too well. In Alien, of course, company leaders, without warning employees of the danger, callously ordered them to bring an alien back alive, hoping it could...
...life that revolves obsessively around their work. Their professional style is based on the belief that the producer-director team that works harder than anyone else and knows in detail every aspect of the production is bound to command respect. Cameron can be demanding on the set. Recalls Reiser: "Working with him wasn't like a frolic." Says Henriksen, who has completed three locations with Cameron: "He is the bride in every wedding and the corpse at every funeral." Most of the couple's decisions are mutual, except when he is staging a scene or working with his designers...
...Martin Reiser, director of the institute and chief psychologist for the Los Angeles police department, continues to defend police hypnosis vigorously, claiming that in Los Angeles no defendant was ever convicted on the basis of hypnotically enhanced testimony alone. In July the state legislature reversed part of the California Supreme Court decision, allowing witnesses and victims who have been hypnotized to testify as to their prehypnotic recollections, while stipulating that sessions be conducted only by disinterested outside psychiatrists. But since it is witnesses' posthypnotic testimony that is most valuable to police, the Svengali squads in California and elsewhere continue...
