THE HYPE GETTING AN 'EYE'-FUL BOOK IS ECLECTIC COLLECTION OF ONE MAN'S VISION.What photographs would you collect if you could? Most of us aren't in the position to buy what we like, but ``One Man's Eye'' (Abrams; $49.50) does reflect the taste of one man - Alan Siegel. Throughout the years, he collected works by Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Adams, Ezra Stoller, Robert Frank, Irving Penn, Walker Evans, Erwin Blumenfeld and Edward Weston. The 120 photos in this coffee-table book reflect Siegel's wide - and sometimes odd - range of interests. Inside are pictures of animal skulls by Penn, Marilyn Monroe's last nude session and smoke billowing bil·low n. 1. A large wave or swell of water. 2. A great swell, surge, or undulating mass, as of smoke or sound. v. bil·lowed, bil·low·ing, bil·lows v.intr. 1. from a steel plant in Lackawana, N.Y.

VH-1 presents the film at 9 tonight. At the same time, ``The West Wing's'' Christmas episode is a far grimmer, more moving affair, with Josh (Bradley Whitfield) meeting with a therapist (Adam Arkin, still treating patients despite the cancelation can·ce·la·tion n.
