...touch can kill." Lisa (Janet Margolin) is a 15-year-old girl with soft brown eyes and schizophrenia. She is split into two well-defined personalities. As Lisa she is a silly four-year-old who talks all the time but only in a "word salad" seasoned with rhyme ("A big fat sow-and how and how"); as Muriel she is a demure adolescent who communicates in writing because she can't talk...

Maudling, whose own tastes run to dry martinis and dancing barefoot on the Riviera with his pretty wife, has an undeserved reputation for indolence. According to a malicious rhyme that once made the rounds of the Commons, Reg Has no edge And Maudling Is dawdling...
