Cops and robbers agree
A house with all the lights
on and loud music or a televi
sion set blaring was once
thought to be a deterrent to
thieves. But both police and
professional burglars now
agree that indiscriminate use
of these devices is an invita
tion to a break-in.
“You can sense someone’s
home without ringing the bell
a lot of times,” a California
burglar volunteers in a Fami
ly Circle magazine article.
“Common sense tells you. Say
there’s a family of three or
four; they’re going to have
maybe two or three lights on
at night. They’re not going to

“I told my children I had
cancer and that I had to go to
the hospital for major sur
gery,” says Hubert
Humphrey. “I said, ‘But I
don’t want you to worry
because I can’t afford that
kind of negative thinking. I
want you to be on my side. But

whatever it is, I want you to
know that I’m not a statistic.
I’m your dad.”
After a decade-long battle
with cancer the former vice
president’s optimism and
enthusiasm for life has not
waned. In fact, his recent sur
gery and chemotherapy have
given him a new outlook on
life.
"I speak more frankly these
days, but I don’t try to injure
anyone,” explains Humphrey
in an interview in Family Cir
cle magazine. “I think you can
say anything you want if you
use reasonably good manners.
“So what I have to tell
myself is: ‘You’re lucky.
You’re up. You’re going.’ And
yet I also know, in the back of
my mind, that this illness is
like a thief in the middle of the
night. It can stab you in the
back, and zingo, you’re gone.”

Lucas: it’s
the romance
“I didn’t want to make a
‘2ool’, I wanted to make a
space fantasy that was more
in the genre of Edgar Rice
Burroughs; that whole other
end of space fantasy that was
there before science took it
over in the fifties,” says
writer-director George Lucas
of his current box office
smash “Star Wars.”
“Once the atomic bomb
came, everybody got into
monsters and science and
what would happen with this
and what would happen with
that. I think speculative fic
tion is very valid but they
forgot the fairy tales and the
dragons and Tolkien and all
the REAL heroes.”
Says Lucas in an interview
in Rolling Stone: “What we
really need to do is to colonize
the next galaxy, get away
from the hard facts of (2001)
and get on the romantic side
of it. Nobody is going to
colonize Mars because of the
technology, they are going to
go because they think maybe
they will be able . . . well, it is
romantic, it is the romantic
aspect of it that needs to be
looked at for a second, which
nobody had ever looked at
before.”

have every room lit up. Peo
ple overdo, and a burglar
knows right away that no
one’s there.”
The best deterrents to
burglary, according to Cap
tain John Kid of the Manhat
tan Safe, Loft and Truck
Squad in New York City, are a
good lock —a dead bolt lock
preferably — and high visibili
ty for access area (hedges and
shrubbery are a burglar’s
ally).
And whatever you do don’t
announce your vacation plans
in the society pages of the
local newspaper.

General’s an optimist He’s no groupie-grabber Feels a responsibility
The volunteer army is
somewhat less than
successful in the recruiting
department. National Guard
and Reserve units are 60,000
members short of the strength
mandated by Congress, the In
dividual Ready Reserve is
340,000 short.
But the program still has an
optimistic backer, and he’s in
the right place.
“I don’t want to return to
the draft,” claims Army Chief
of Staff Bernard Rogers. “I
asked our major Army com
manders, ‘ls there any one of
you who wants to return to the
draft?’ Not a one.”
Says the 56-year-old former
Rhodes Scholar: “Today’s
soldiers are the best with
whom I’ve served in 34 years.
When I go out there where the
Army really is — and it’s not
in the Pentagon — and see
them, well, you really get all
charged up.”
The confident general
proposes a boost in recruit-
ment bonus plans and adver
tising to attract more
volunteers. Some senators are
leery of his optimism, but one
of his aides jokes, “The chief
likes to sing with his fine tenor
voice ‘The Impossible
Dream.’ ”

“This superstar thing seems
surreal to me,” says Peter
Frampton. “It can’t be about
me. Why would anyone want
to steal my garbage? Why
should I need round-the-clock
armed guards or an electric
gate that imprisons me in my
own home? That’s for some
other Peter Frampton, not
me.”
To the millions of Frampton
fans, there is no “other”
Peter Frampton. Frampton is
the superstar whose last
album, “Frampton Comes
Alive,” sold a record 13
million copies and set him on
the crest of a wave of success
that earned him SSO million in
1976.
But has fame changed
Frampton? “I’ve always been
a one-woman man,” says
Peter in Us magazine. “I
don’t need a lot of women.
Besides, being that Peter
Frampton, I never know if a
girl I fancy fancies me or the
image. And that matters to
Page 21
me. I’m not a groupie
grabber. Because of that
Peter Frampton thing, I could
point my finger at some girl
and say, ‘You!’ and have her
jump. That doesn’t interest
me.”

“I am a singer, not a
professional feminist,” says
singer-songwriter Helen Red
dy. “But I feel I’ve got a
responsibility as an artist to
pick good material, and a
responsibility as a woman not
to sing dumb songs — you
know, ‘Beat me up, throw me
out and I’ll come bapk on my
knees.’ ”

songs — ‘ am woman, you are
man, I am weak so you can be

terrible songs about how it

“A lot of female songwriters

she claims in Redbook

demons. I want to know how
you fight them.”
