...received the addresses too late to get the questionnaires to Hazeltine and Lewis, who might have provided some valuable clues before they died. As his physical condition deteriorates -- he has dropped 20 lbs. and has lost the use of both arms -- his search becomes more urgent. "If we can trace back to what caused this 22 years ago, maybe we can find a cure," he says. "If we can't find a cure for me, I hope I can last long enough to make it possible for someone else to be helped...

The Huntington's style puts quite a bit of weight on the actor's shoulders, and generally they dig into their melodramatic motivations with not a trace of self-consciousness. Particularly good is Gary Sloan, who keeps the part of Moe Axelrod from sliding into a hysterical morass of cliche and mannerism. How he can deliver lines to the woman he's in love with like "I wrote my name on you. I'm indelible ink" with a straight face is beyond me, but he does...
