LIU. BOYD
She liked all men
with deep voices
Never can tell just what it is about a girl that will fascinate
a fellow. And vice versa. That renowned philosopher
Descartes, for instance, was particularly intrigued by any
women with crossed eyes. Also, numerous ladies long have
known that some men find irresistible that mole on the cheek
known otherwise as a beauty mark. The dimple or cleft always
gets appropriate credit in this vein, too. But the most unusual
item in our Love and War man's file on these matters is the
case of the female telephone operator who compulsively
flirted with just about every man she talked to whose voice
descended into the lower registers, and as it happened, her be
havior did not change, even after she married a base singer who
specialized in a rendition of "Deep River."
IRREGARDLESS
Q. "Why do people say 'irregardless' when there's no such
word?"
A. There's such a word, all right. But it’s what the diction
ary people call "nonstandard." And it most probably began as
a cross between "irrespective" and "regardless."
One out of every 10 supermarket shoppers discovers at the
checkout counter that there's not enough money in the purse
to cover the bill, so puts a few items in the "take back" cart.
Researchers who found this out say these items frequently in
clude candy, books and air fresheners. But six-packs of beer
are almost never among the "take back" merchandise.
If you lie down to rest about four hours after a meal, the
heat given off by your body then is equal to that of a 60-watt
lightbulb.
IQ TESTS FOR DOGS
A canine psychologist devised a series of IQ tests for dogs.
Steak bones were wrapped in towels, put under shoe boxes,
skewered on head-high limbs, so on, and the dogs were rated
on a scale of 0 to 10 as to their savvy in getting to the steak
bones as quickly as possible. Bloodhounds came out on top,
poodles at the bottom. Males proved to be smarter than
females. And no difference showed up in this particular test
between purebreds and mongrels.

"Halleluiah! This year I can slip and fall and the
media doesn’t make a big deal of it!"
Ray Cromley
Carter was never
such an outsider
By Ray Cromley
WASHINGTON — (NEA) — One of the more interesting
aspects of the primary campaign for president was the un
usually great support given Jimmy Carter by influential
lawyers nationwide — and by the sizeable numbers in this
group making major campaign contributions.
These donor lists were not primarily composed of small
town attorneys doing family service to neighbors in their
home communities. Many of these important contributors
were attorneys for firms representing major American in
dustrial corporations.
Even more important was the exceedingly strong support
for Mr. Carter from the start by prestigious Atlanta law
firms. Men from these filled critical roles in Carter’s inner
group when he had little more than an inner group. They came
up with money, or raised money, at a time when Mr. Carter
desperately had to have it — when the issue was whether his
campaign could continue or whether it would founder for lack
of funds.
Stuart Eisenstat, Mr. Carter's issues chairman, is con
nected with Powell, Goldstein, Frazer and Murphy, of Atlan
ta. According to the authoritative Martindale-Hubbell Law
Directory for 1976, they are general counsel or counsel for —
— others — Dow Chemical, Allis-Chalmers, Delta Air
Lines, J.P. Stevens and Company, Grinnel, International
Paper, International Minerals and Chemicals and for Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, the mammoth New York
stockbroker firm.
Powell, Goldstein, Frazer and Murphy also represent Mobil
Oil, Teledyne, Southern Railway System, and John Hancock
Mutual Life. Not to mention Thomson and McKinnon
Auchincloss, Inc., another major stockbroker firm.
Charles H. Kirbo, reportedly closest man on earth to Jimmy
Carter, is with King and Spalding, also of Atlanta. So is Jack
H. Watson, Jr., kingpin in the Carter transition team. Also
Griffin Bell, Mr. Carter’s choice for Attorney General.
King and Spalding is general counsel, counsel or state
counsel for General Motors, Prudential Insurance, Bessemer
Securities Corporation, Southern Natural Resources, the big
utilities firm, Cox Broadcasting, the Coca-Cola Company,
West Point-Pepperel.
Adviser Philip Alston is with Alston, Mitler and Gaines, also
of Atlanta, Georgia, which represents Aetna Life, American
Oil, Chrysler, Continental Telephone and Otis Elevator.
Mr. Carter’s major money raiser from the start, it’s un
derstood, was Robert J. Lipshutz, of Lipshutz, Zusmann and
Sikes, of Atlanta. In the primary, the big donor list from that
firm read like a roster of the firm’s partners and associates.
From a reading of successive Carter financial reports, it
would seem that every time money was scarce, the firm’s
members came up with another round of giving.
Lipshutz, Zusmann and Sikes represent Lawyers Title In
surance, London Guarantee and Accident Company,
Associated Grocers Cooperatives.
Already well publicized are the prestigious law firm
associations of such advisers as Joseph A. Califano, Jr., of
Williams (Edward Bennett Williams), Connolly and Califano,
and Cyrus R. Vance, of the New York firm of Simpson,
Thacher and Bartlett.
What this suggests is that President-elect Carter was not,
even at the beginning, the outsider he was advertised. His con
nections were widespread in the Establishment — particular
ly in the money-legal establishment.
This suggests that he may not be as liberal in his thinking as
was suggested by his campaign oratory or by his promises to
so-called public interest groups.
