rather than albinism. Pink-eyed albino appears to be recessive to all of the other albino mutations. The albino cat reported in Europe and the USA seems to be intermediate between pink-eyed albino and blue-eyed albino. Although it has the white coat of a true albino, its eyes have ruby red pupils and pale blue irises. A true pink-eyed albino was reported in 1931 and again in 1980s in the USA. Albino kittens have turned up more recently in the Bengal breed, unsurprising since albinism is found in the Asian Leopard Cat (the wild parent of the Bengal). Dominant white is the colour associated with deafness in cats. Dominant white masks all other colours and cats may have blue, orange or odd eyes. Those with blue eyes have a high chance of deafness. Those with one blue eye have a high chance of deafness on the blue-eyed side. Those with orange eyes are far less likely to be deaf. Some dominant white kittens are
tend to be learned rather than inborn, more flexible than the lock-step patterns of the lower animals, and responsive to a larger number of triggers. • • • • Chapter 1 WEAPONS OF INFLUENCE Chanowitz, 1978). A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason. Peo- ple simply like to have reasons for what they do (Bastardi 8{ Shafir, 2000). Langer demonstrated this unsurprising fact by asking a small favor of people waiting in line to use a library copying machine: "Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I'm in a rush?" The effectiveness of this request plus- reason was nearly total: 94 percent of those asked let her skip ahead of them in line. Compare this success rate to the results when she made the request only: "Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine?" Under those circumstances

T h e m o o d or chain of thought the author has created just evaporates and the whole effort is wasted. T h e Return may also be too ambiguous. M a n y people faulted the twist ending of Basic Instinct for failing to resolve uncertainty about a woman's guilt. UNRESOLVED SUBPLOTS Another pitfall is that writers fail to bring all the elements together at the Return. It's common for writers today to leave subplot threads dangling. Perhaps in the hurry to
