*Though I had observed that whenever a patient on a TV show like Marcus Welby, M.D., or Ben Casey presented with odd symptoms, my father always made what proved to be the correct diagnosis long before the first commercial break.
*Unless I was gravely ill or seriously injured—and I was almost never either of those things—I didn’t even rate the bedside manner. My father’s response when I cut a finger, stubbed a toe, twisted an ankle, or fell off my bicycle never varied: We’ll have to amputate. When a suture or two was probably called for, he made do with butterflying a pair of Band-Aids; when I fell off a stair railing and broke my arm, he set it with an ACE bandage and a flat plastic tool for scraping the ice off our windshield.
*Von Harbou, screenwriter of Metropolis, was married to Fritz Lang from 1922 to 1933.
