Spurlock, a Playboy alumnus, is now at work on Touch, which he describes as "a combination of Cosmopolitan and Playboy"; 500,000 copies of the first issue are scheduled to descend on newsstands in late August.

Ordinary medical doctors have been pressed into service, too, serving as listeners while they treat patients for physical ailments complicated by flood-inflicted traumas. One of these, Pediatrician Mark Spurlock, has found that Buffalo Creek children have more nightmares now, and that "asthmatics are wheezing more."
