He must be the only second-season TV man in Hollywood who hasn't. By last week, eight midseason replacement shows had made their debuts, and they all looked like print-outs from a stuck computer...
According to David Cohen, a graduate student in Social Relations working with the clinic, it is not organized in he "hospital-institutional" sense. "Our people are researchers, not practising doctors." Most of the subjects derive real benefits from the project. About 80 per cent of the participants in the program are cured of their phobias...
