George Christian, who used to be L.B.J.'s press secretary, raised the issue during a round table featuring eight present and former White House press officers at the Johnson Library last week (no conclusion, just a view with alarm).

Wagner plays a latter-day Wonder Woman who became the world's first bionic woman after she was nearly killed in a skydiving accident; doctors rebuilt her, piece by voluptuous piece, with 80-m.p.h. legs, a right arm that can shatter trees and an ear capable of hearing leaves rustle in the next county.
