...Bowe, an associate show producer on Top Model, says she and her partner crafted 250 hours of raw footage into a full script with characters and storylines. "We don't put the words in the contestants' mouths, but a photo shoot and a watchable episode is created," says Bowe. Clint Catalyst, also an associate producer who worked on scripted television and wrote several novels before joining the Top Model staff, says, "We're storytellers. And we're not recognized as such. There's a notion that people have that there is no writing in reality television, and that's just...
...whale hunters" [July 3]. Norway's flouting of the International Whaling Commission rules is particularly offensive because it bespeaks the whalers' pleasure in defying international opinion. This summer a group of tourists who had gone to Norway on a whale safari - to see and photograph the magnificent animals, not shoot them - were horrified to see a whale harpooned before their eyes. That bloody scene was followed by the grisly sight of the butchering of a carcass on another ship. The whalers were unrepentant.

...wasn't just her Hollywood star power that made Audrey Hepburn glitter. In 1961, during a photo shoot to promote her role as Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, the actress was photographed wearing a Tiffany diamond-ribbon necklace.

I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do than shoot a killer and watch his blood trace a slimy path across the floor." The fights he gets into are manuals for barroom brawlers. Here's a how-to from My Gun Is Quick: "I jammed four big, stiff fingers into his gut right above the navel and he snapped shut like a jackknife. I opened him up again with an openhanded slap that left a blush across his mouth...
...Anything short of execution is excusable. "I didn't kill him," he says after one encounter. "All I did was shoot him in the leg a little bit." (In Hammer's world, that's a towel slap.) Sometimes he imagines the awful-delicious retribution. "If anything happened to Velda I'd tear the guts out of some son-of-a-bitch!" he muses in One Lonely Night. "I'd nail him to a wall and take his skin off him in inch-wide strips!" Other times, he keeps the violence strictly verbal, on the level of threat...
