For those who helped at various points in the essay, HEIMLICH MANEUVRES, as well as interested others, it's been published at the PSYART site (PSYART: A Hyperlink Journal for Psychological Study of the Arts), at http://www.clas.ufl.edu/ipsa/journal/articles/psyart2001/greenb04.htm The essay traces the evolution of the cinematic monster from a figure of terror, to -- variously -- a figure of fun/protector of children/rescuer of mankind at large. Thanks again for all who helped a year or so ago with references, et cetera. Harvey Roy Greenberg, MD ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
