Good story about a bad painter.  As with others, I really enjoyed hearing about the Watergate scandal as it was happening as well as about Bruce Jenner.  I found it interesting in this story that the "just the facts" police officer was more open to something supernatural than anyone else - others may have alluded to it but never went there directly (and for that they thought him mad).  I also thought it interesting that part of the "curse" (not that it's said as much) is that neither the painter nor the model seems to be aware of the transformation.
