So, when her contract was renegotiated last year, she insisted on a clause that would give her the opportunity to work at public TV should one arise. It did. She did. And KGMB now admires the "cross-promotional profile" nice TV term, that! it gives her. But why the extra work? Wilcox "relishes the opportunity to let people state their cases in their own words.

In a half-hour newscast we're only able touch the highlights. In 'Dialog we're able to concentrate on one issue for an hour. The added treat is that it's unrehearsed. The good stuff isn't edited out. "It's a whole new format for me.

It's informal and comfortable, and we won't have the interference of commercials coming up quick.

By keeping this monster within the child unspoken of, hidden in his unconscious, adults prevent the from spinning fantasies around it in the image of the fairy tales he knows.

As a result, the child remains helpless with his worst anxieties much more so than if he had been told fairy tales which gives these anxieties form and body and also show ways of overcoming these monsters. If our fear of being devoured takes the tangible form of a witch, it can be gotten rid of by burning her in the oven!
