There seem to be not one but two writers inside the prolific John G Fuller. One has produced sober responsible books on banking and medical research. The other is better known for his hyperthyroid, irresponsible studies of psychic phenomena. In 1965 Fuller, whose various incarnations include a stint as a columnist for the Saturday Review and Emmy Award-winning work as a television producer, published Incident at Exeter. In it he concluded that the unidentified flying objects sighted and reported around the country were of extraterrestrial origin. A year later, he wrote The Interrupted Journey, the preposterous account...
...creep who deserted his wife and two children seven years ago, one step ahead of his bookie's enforcers, and has now reappeared to make excuses and bed room eyes at the wife. Ellis and the show's writers make much merriment at the expense of the sober, straight career Army officer courting the wife; obviously, he is a turkey...
Barefoot, in an orange safran robe and with a short pony tail dangling from an otherwise bald head, a Hare Krishna devotee seems out of place opening the large oak door of a sober Victorian brownstone house on Commonwealth Ave. in Boston.

When he is not busy with that, he is filling his street with crowds in all kinds of moods, showing it at all times...
...doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. The characters try to hash out what is reality and what is fantasy, and what is right and what is wrong. But in the end, they have the sense to do what we all want to do--even the sane and sober Tim, who finds the courage to take Marcie by the hand, leaving behind all the embarrassments of associating himself with such a "naive" woman. "She's a lot smarter than you ever gave her credit for," Stanley lectures, pointing to her innocent wisdom which paved...
