In the battle between Arlene and Arlie, between poverty and crime, essentially between good and evil, good ultimately emerges victorious. But the play ends with a question mark. A grinning Arlene demands...

Born in 1970 in Columbus, Ga., to Accountant Tom Kennedy, now 47, and Christine Kennedy, now 37, a German-born bookkeeper he met in a Munich dance hall during the Fasching festival, Gracie and Ginny suffered violent convulsions days after birth. Tests showed no brain damage, but the Kennedys claim that a Georgia neurosurgeon said it would be five years before the girls could be judged normal or retarded.
