Three lady cops will also join TV's criminal chase. The heroine of ABC'S Get Christie Love! (Teresa Graves) gets her man by sassily flouting the orders of her boss-and flaunting the best legs on the force. NBC's Police Woman (Angie Dickinson), a spin-off from Police Story, is only a sergeant. But Amy Prentiss (Jessica Walter), a rib out of NBC's venerable Ironside, is a chief of detectives in command of 260 (male) officers...
...could have imagined. Each month for the last year or so has brought a new book calculated to shock, titillate, and endear these brilliant perverts to out hearts. Lytton Strachey's fascination with the eroticism of the ear, John Maynard Keynes's penchant for the hand, and G. Lowes Dickinson's boot fetishism have all been the subject of recent studies.

Thematically she deals repeatedly with death, with the passing of time, and, like the Emily Dickinson she admires so much, with the religious dimensions of everyday life. "You can't be a poet and not have any religious feeling," she explains. "I don't care for institutionalized religion, but I'm very interested now in the history of religion; the changes in ancient civilizations from worshipping goddesses to the worship of male gods, the evolution of patriarchal...
