Harper goes hunting instead, and his first stop is at an Alhambra-sized mansion ruled from a wheelchair by Lauren Bacall, the wife or widow of a kidnaped millionaire. Right at home here, lynx-eyed Lauren lets her voice burn like a laser into Scenarist William Goldman's polished-steel dialogue. "I only want to outlive him; I want to see him in his grave," she says. "People in love will say anything," answers Harper...
Conquering the Spectrum. For 14 years before his death, Matisse suffered from intestinal cancer. In his town house in Nice, he painted from his bed or wheelchair, surrounded by women-his beautiful secretary, two models, a nurse, cook and maid. Even though an invalid, he still drew in masterly style using a 10-ft. bamboo pole with a crayon on its tip. With this and a pair of scissors, he created his last great masterpiece, the Chapel of the Rosary at Vence. With cut-out colored paper he designed stained glass, tile stations of the Cross, even abstract chasubles...

In their place, Ward suggested the A.M.A.'s "Eldercare" plan, an expansion of the present Kerr-Mills medical-assistance-for-the-aged program...
Goldstein. From Lake Michigan's murkiest depths, a scruffy, bearded old tramp (Lou Gilbert) wades ashore wearing dirty long underwear. He pushes an obese violinist through the streets of Chicago in a wheelchair. He is pursued through the phallic phantasmagoria of a sausage factory by a uniformed guard until a junk sculptor (Thomas Erhart) darts to his rescue. The sculptor defeats the guard, who is ground into lunch meat...
