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. Address mall to L. M.

MY ANSWER 1 J Berry’s World ®l976byNEA.mc "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.
