Barbara Babcock
as Jane Dutton in "Attack on Fear"
Upon hearing of iniquities at the famed Santa Monica drug rehabilitation center Synanon, the Mitchells begin publishing their evidence. Despite legal pressure from Synanon and bizarre anonymously mailed threats, the Mitchells' story results in a major investigation of the revered institution. Although "Attack on Fear" was completed in 1982, it was not telecast until October 1984 and then only after being reshaped to satisfy Synanon's battery of attorneys.

"Mercury and Aglauros"
In Metamorphoses, Ovid recounts the Roman myth of the mortal Aglauros. According to the story, the god Mercury falls in love with Aglauros’s sister Herse and offers Aglauros gold to bring him to her. Poisoned with jealousy by the goddess Minerva, Aglauros refuses. Here Fabritius depicts the moment just before Mercury turns Aglauros to stone. A student of Rembrandt, Fabritius’s dramatic lighting and very human portrayal reflect his teacher’s influence.
