...when Otto Preminger used the word "virgin" in "The Moon Is Blue" and got away with it. Even David O. Selznick had to beg Hayes Office approval for the final "I don't give a damn" in "Gone With the Wind." The Code insured that all married couples used twin beds, that no kiss lasted longer than 10 seconds, and that crime never paid. (Network television seems to be the last venue where any of the original code still applies, the only place left on earth, in fact, where cops don't use the f-word...
...Other connections between Diana and me may be more related to our matching DNA and thus more applicable to clones. My twin and I filter information in much the same way, and we think, perceive and interpret things similarly. When we're together, we often respond simultaneously with the same word or sentence. We have put on the same T shirt on the same day in different cities. We have friends who are twins, both doctors, who have similar experiences. They took a pharmacy class together in medical school but sat across the classroom from each other and took separate...
...Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not deceased. The owner, who wishes to remain anonymous to protect his privacy, wants a twin to carry on Missy's fine qualities after she does die.

It's a simple recipe. Take some homemade, remote-controlled robots (which look more like armored lawn mowers than androids). Give them WWF-style names like Mauler and Vlad the Impaler. Put them in a Plexiglas cage, and let them hammer, buzz-saw and ram the motor oil out of each other. Throw in campy announcers and a good-looking...
This explains Emily Curtin, 22, who now plays guitar in a New York City rock band. When she was in her late teens in Worcester, Mass., Emily used to collaborate with her twin younger brothers to make rock-music-compilation tapes--they called them Kids' Pix--for her parents. The idea was to educate the folks, who already understood the rock music of their own warmly remembered youth, about newer stuff. "They listened to the tapes all the time," she says. "My mom got into the Magnetic Fields. Dad got into My Bloody Valentine...
