ABSTRACT
In a dramatic televised experiment, a hard-nosed Malibu car dealer today became the first man in California to get in touch with his feelings. The startling and risky Valentine's Day test, watched by enthralled millions across the state, was immediately hailed by former governor Jerry Brown as "an historic milestone in the exploration of inner space". Several churchmen and moralists have raised questions about the propriety of subjecting a normal male to such experimental pressures. A spokesperson for the California Inner Space Program (CISP) revealed that Babble had experienced sttess only when CISP leaders asked him to hold onto an emotion for as long as a minute. Bobby Babble's normality was established two months ago in a standard psychological test: while viewing photos of mangled accident victims, his face showed no response at all. Since the experiment, he has been writing letters to the Menendez brothers, attempting to share their pain.
