Woody has now discovered a gold mine: the movie business. Last year he wrote a wacky feature (What's New Pussycat?) that plotzed so many people that it has already grossed more than $10 million.

...explicit consent of the subject be given in all human experiments. He perhaps does not realize that this would invalidate a number of psychological tests. If an experimenter asks a subject for permission to deceive his sense of perception, the subject will go into the experiment looking for the trick.
