Meantime THE PAPER OF RE-CORD runs its own high-tone PRESS RELEASE -- and gets better results:You know, I think you can have the beginnings of mental illness, but if your life is going well, that can get pushed aside. But not if you're cast adrift: in middle age, Bettie had no anchors and she was losing her looks, which had been her identity. So religion became her identity. We tried to write a script that flashes forward to include some of this. But inevitably it becomes a very punitive story: sexual abuse plus bondage equals madness. And that's not the truth of her life, not even now. No, we TWXSTERS must never be punitive -- except to the public, and our shareholders.
