MISTER, IF you eat too fast, look out. That’s a sign of
insecurity, inadequacy, inferiority. Or so says a student of
the mind. He claims men who bolt their dinners tend to fret
overmuch. Such men, he avers, make poor swimmers, poor
golfers and poor lovers.
WHAT WAS your secret ambition as a youngster? Me, I
once wanted to be a doctor. J. Edgar Hoover, it’s known,
wanted to be a minister. Sen. Mike Mansfield, a forest
ranger. West Germany’s Chancellor Willy Brandt, a ship’s
captain. Norman Vincent Peale, a politician. J. Paul Getty, a
traveling writer. Hubert Humphrey, a baseball manager.
NOT ONE nor two but three relatively young Latin
women, each with a prominent scar on her cheek. That’s
what a subscriber says he saw on the street one afternoon
during a recent visit to New York City. Coincidence?
Probably. Still, in Puerto Rico itself, it has been the
infrequent custom over, the years for a husband to slash his
wife with a knife in that manner, if he catches her in the
extreme with a gentleman friend. Out Love and War man
frowns on that, too.
“AS TO THE CLAIM that women have a harder time
quitting smoking,” writes Dave Wertz, "nuts, man, women
have a harder time doing anything. Driving a car. Playing the
guitar. They’ve never invented anything of consequence,
never written a symphony, never become architects of note.
If we had to make do with what women have contributed to
the world’s cultures, we’d still be living in trees and eating
raw fish.”
AM SKEPTICALLY studying the recommendation to put
a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the hair as a conditioner.
Don’t know, sounds odd. The scalp expert who suggests this
extraordinary treatment, a Mr. Redding, Says it does dandy
things for hair protein. He spells his first name Jheri.
Interesting name. A little too chic for mayonnaise, though.
Would rather expect Green Goddess. No, think I’ll stick to
oil and vinegar without the vinegar.
ANOTHER THING you can do at stoplights is enumerate
the nicknames for coffee. Like java. And joe. If you were
old enough to drink it during World War 11, you may
remember coffee without cream or sugar was commonly
called blackout. And if you were in a hurry, you told the
waitress to blitz it. Our Language man counts 22 such fancy
terms for coffee.
LOTS OF PILOTS have died in small plane crashes after a
few cocktails before takeoff. That’s widely known. Less
widely known is why such drinks are so dangerous. It’s the
altitude. The medical men say one stiff belt in the air can
equal four on the ground. That’s also why the citizens of
Mexico City at 7,440 feet get more drunk at less expense
than the citizens of any other major metropolis.

Giants and Braves
The San Francisco Giants, who
were the hottest team in baseball a couple
of weeks ago, are finding out how the other
side lives.
They have dropped eight of their last
nine games.
Although the Giants are concerned about
the losing streak, they aren't pushing the
panic button.
Despite eight losses out of nine games,
the Giants are still holding a seven game
lead in the West Division of the National
League.

Life as a prisoner of war in a South Vietnamese deten
tion camp cannot be the most pleasant experience in the
world.
Yet a screening by the International Committee for the
Red Cross of some 570 disabled North Vietnamese prison
ers, which South Vietnam had offered to return and which
North Vietnamese had agreed to accept, could produce
only 13 who were willing to be repatriated.
This has been an “embarrassment” to both the U.S.
and South Vietnamese governments, who were hoping to
put additional pressure on Hanoi to release its American
prisoners of war.
Like thousands of Red Chinese and North Koreans in
the Korean War, whose refusal to be exchanged stalled
peace negotiations for months, these North Vietnamese
soldiers apparently prefer anything, even continued im
prisonment, to being sent back home.
It is not that they love their country the less but that
they fear their country’s Communist rulers the more.
We consider a prisoner of war just that—a soldier who
happens to be made a prisoner during a war and who is no
less honorable than any other soldier.
To the Communists, any man who lets himself be cap
tured by the enemy has lost face and compromised his
honor. Far from being welcomed home as a hero, he is
received under a cloud of suspicion and disgrace.
It is claimed, in fact, that North Vietnam tells its sol
diers that if they are captured in battle, they can forget
about coming back.
Jingle, Jingle . . . Jangle?
Cigarette commercials have been banned from the air
waves since the first of the year, but thanks to an enter
prising company, those little ditties television viewers or
radio listeners used to hear—and hear and hear and hear
—may soon once again be heard—and heard and heard
and heard.
The Castagna Electronics Corp, has put together a de
vice that will play a tape recording of the appropriate
jingle for 20 seconds whenever a pack of cigarettes is
purchased from a vending machine. Cigarette manufac
turers are said to be seriously interested.
The idea, apparently, is to psychologically “reinforce”
the person who has made a selection from the machine
as well as to suggest to others who may be within hear
ing that they might like to try that brand, if only to hear
the jingle. Nonsmokers may be entertained or irritated,
as the case may be.
It’s a rather cute idea— but ah, what if the American
Cancer Society demands equal time?

It seems that when the Giants lose, their
immediate challengers also fall.
For instance, last night Montreal
whacked the Giants 3-1. But second place
Los Angeles fell to Philadelphia and
Atlanta nipped third place Houston, 2-1.
The only team that gained was Atlanta,
who picked up a full game on all teams
above them
If Atlanta could hita hot streak while the
Giants are trying to figure out what’s
happening, then the Braves might regain
some of the respect they have lost in recent
weeks.

MY
ANSWER
“Best friend
betrayed me”
I just can’t believe in people
because my best friend
betrayed me. Can you prove
that man is worthy of God’s
love? S. F.
Your loss of faith in mankind
is a reflection to you/ lost faith
in yourself. True, there are
many charlatans in the world,
but it would be grossly unjust to
lump all of humanity off as
fakes and hypocrites. I know too
many, good, sincere, selfless
people to ever do that.

If you want to prove that man
is worthy of God’s love, I
couldn’t do that. I am not
worthy of God’s great love, and
neither are you. God loves us
despite our unworthiness and
sin. He loves us as a mother
loves a crippled, angry child.
The miracle of God’s grace is:
“When we were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly.” Rom. 5:6
Without faith in God one can
easily become cynical about
people. But if Christ lives in
you, He loves people through
you. When He was upon the
earth, He had every reason to be
discouraged with men. But not
once did He lose His love and
patience. He brought hope to the
outcast woman at Jacob’s well.
He cast seven evil spirits out of
Magdalene. He forgave the
scarlet sin of the adulteress.
And, even on the cross, when He
had endured the most brutal
treatment, He said, “Father
forgive them.” We are un
worthy, but His love is extended
to all mankind.
