...child is merely precocious, but the parents are nearly psychotic. Jordan's first service to her mistress is to scoop up the razor blade with which suicide-bent Elise French has slashed her wrist. Seems that Elise suffers from bottle fatigue (too much vodka) and pencil-envy. She pines for the days when she used to turn out some of the top publicity copy on Madison Avenue. Hubby Carter is a $100,000-a-year magazine publisher and as full of answers as an IBM machine, except that he never asks himself the right questions about his wife...
