...story line, but wait a second, here's the hook: father, son and grandson are played by three generations of Mitchums. Robert, 67, Christopher, 40, and Bentley, 18. Well, anyway, CBS liked the idea, and a TV movie, Promises to Keep, is set for the fall. Maybe blood is thicker than conversation. Grandpa Mitchum's remarks on how it was to work with family ("fine"), interest- ing points about the film ("We did it locally") and Bentley's screen debut ("He did well enough") are, to say the least, laconic.

...watch passively as the line grows thicker rather than longer. You glare at the stream of wanderers who scout the line for a friend to cut in front of. You consider going up to cut yourself, but fear the doors will open soon-and the crowd at the front of the "line" is 20 people across...

...glass column containing a solution of albumin, a sticky protein normally present in such bodily fluids as blood and semen. After an hour, more Y-containing sperm than sluggish Xs should have sped to the bottom. The Y sperm are further concentrated by being run through increasingly thicker solutions of albumin. "It's like making them run the Boston Marathon with overshoes on," says Ericsson. The prospective mother is then artificially inseminated with the Y-concentrated sperm. Ericsson claims that of 146 women who became pregnant by this method at clinics licensed by Gametrics, 112 bore males-a success...
