That scary scene in ``Psycho'' left Alfred Hitchcock's leading lady, Janet Leigh, a bath enthusiast for life. ``I suddenly said to myself, `My God, we're so vulnerable and defenseless in the shower,' '' the 70-year-old actress said Thursday. ``You can't hear because the water's running. You can't see. You're there and you're easy picking.''

Contrary to tabloid reports, Kennedy cut his right hand doing the dishes, said the friend, who wasn't identified in Wednesday's newspaper. ``He's telling family and friends what really happened because the whole thing - you should excuse the phrase - has gotten out of hand,'' the friend said. Kennedy and wife Carolyn Bessette were sharing a quiet dinner at home before he left on a weeklong trip to India earlier this month. He cut his hand while cleaning the dishes after dinner. He wrapped the wound himself and left for India the next day without seeking treatment. The hand began bothering him during the trip, and he underwent minor nerve surgery when he got home.

Joseph Troisi, a 47-year-old judge on the Pleasants County, W.Va., Circuit Court, could get up to a year in jail and a $500 fine for the attack June 26 against Bill Witten, 29. No sentencing date was set. Troisi still faces federal civil rights charges carrying up to 10 years in prison. ``It once again proves that no matter who you are, you're not above the law,'' said Witten's father, Ray Witten. Troisi was accused of stepping down from the bench, taking off his robe and confronting Witten after the defendant cursed at the judge while being led out of the courtroom. Afterward, witnesses said, Troisi returned to the bench as if nothing happened. Troisi claimed he did not intend to bite Witten. Witten suffered a bruise on the tip of his nose. The incident occurred after a hearing at which Troisi refused to reduce Witten's $40,000 bail while the defendant appealed his sentence for grand larceny A category of larceny—the offense of illegally taking the property of another—in which the value of the property taken is greater than that set for petit larceny. At Common Law, the punishment for grand larceny was death. and illegally entering a business. A half-dozen people in the courtroom saw the incident. A report prepared for the state Supreme Court said Troisi, who was first elected to the bench in 1992, had a longstanding inability to control his temper on the bench. In all, Troisi lost his temper 19 times in the past two years, the report said. Troisi's arraignment A criminal proceeding at which the defendant is officially called before a court of competent jurisdiction, informed of the offense charged in the complaint, information, indictment, or other charging document, and asked to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or as otherwise permitted on the federal charges is scheduled for Oct. 31. ``Halloween seems to be the most appropriate day for such a strange and bizarre case as this,'' Ray Witten said.
