First Lady’s campaign
Rosalynn Carter says her
goal is to “wipe out the
revulsion” against mental ill
ness, and she’s asked her hus
band to spend some money to
do it.
Says the First Lady: "I told
Jimmy that I have pledged an

Too late for Dino Jr.
Tm going to play on the
circuit for as long as I’m
eager and keep improving,"
says pro-tennis aspirant
Dean Martin Jr. "If I’m still
having to qualify when I’m
28 or 29-well, I’ll reevaluate.
But I believe I can be No. 1.
I’m going to try."
At 25, Martin’s chances of
succeeding on the interna
tional circuit are fading fast.
In 1975, he was strictly a
fringe player on the pro tour.
Last year, he earned a rank
ing of No. 250 on the Associa
tion of Tennis Professionals’
computer. And this year, he
qualified for the Beckenham
Invitational, one of the war
mups for Wimbledon.
"Martin has a good atti
tude and he’s a real fighter,"
says coach Paul Cohen in
Tennis Magazine. "The play
ers seem to have respect for
his tennis ability. But, at 25,
you should be in the top 100 if
you’re going to do anything."
Martin, however, refuses
Army wants more women
If Defense Secretary Harold
Brown has it his way, the U.S.
Army of the near future will
be smaller and have more
women.
As a cost-cutting move for
the fiscal 1979 Defense budget
— which will be presented to
Congress and the public in
January — Brown wants to
trim the Army by 10,000
soldiers. If he sticks by his
decision, he may provoke a
major battle in Congress.
Earlier this year the Senate
Armed Services Committee
voted to reduce Army
strength by about 13,000 by
Sept. 30, 1978. The Army lob
bied hard and the figure ended
up at 3,000.
Army strength now stands
at 783,000. Plans had called for
50,000 women soldiers by the
end of 1983. Brown wants at
least 80,000. The reason? It
What’s up in animal speeds
Intrepid automotive pioneers at the turn of the century may have
thought that twelve miles an hour was breakneck speed. But they
were barely moving compared with these animals, whose maximum
speeds were compiled by the American Museum of Natural History
as reported in The World Almanac:
Animal Spaed (mph)
Cheetah 70
Pronghorn antelope 61
Wildebeest 50
Lion 50
Thomson's gazelle 50
Quarter horse 47.5
Elk 45
Cape hunting dog 45
Coyote 43
Gray fox 42
Hyena 40
Zebra 40
Mongolian wild ass 40
Greyhound 39.35
These speeds were registered over quarter-mile distances, ex
cept for the cheetah, timed over a 100-yard distance, and the lion,
clocked in the act of charging. A charging elephant, at 25 mph. can
not outspring a human, who can reach 28 mph. The hare and the
tortoise? At 35 mph to 0.17 mph, it’s not really a race.
