Her parents have watched her show only two or three times during the past year, and in all that time, the TV set has been out of whack-the vertical control is broken, and Dottie, as her baby sister puts it, "keeps flipping upward."

The screen-a substitute for an air conditioner that had gone out of whack-was propped in place by a couple of towel-wrapped dumbbells. The maid removed one of the dumbbells but the oth er, an eight-pounder, rolled down the windowsill. The maid lunged to grab...
