In other words, that's how he

The AP’s spelling had been
based on the advice of Middle
East specialists when he came to
power in a 1969 coup.
But the Associated Press

The Associated Press issued part of a class project 6
an advisory, effective June 1.
that Khadafy s name will be
spelled Gadhafi.
This. now\ after Jack Ander-
son just learned how to spell it
with a K. His syndicated cohiran
which appears in The Sun stub-
bornly held onto the Q-name

ago.when Anderson relented and
started using the longtime AP
spelling of Khadafy.
^ Anderson's penchant forthe Q-
name had been a constant
risky business
Despite sometimes incredible advances in medical
science that are lengthening life, coupled with efforts to
provide adequate care to as many as possible,
Americans still take all kinds of health risks.
Smoking, drinking, drug abuse and failure to follow
safety measures, such as wearing seat belts, are high on
the list of health menaces Americans practice.
These and other observations Were contained in a
study conducted by the National Center for Health
Statistics in cooperation witfrpther agencies. The major
conclusion was that most Americans know a great deal
about how to stay healthy but many break the rules.
However, one high official in the federal Health and
Human Services Department is encouraged by the study
results to the point he believes many more people will
begin to profit by increasing health knowledge as it
becomes* more widely disseminated. «■
Among other highlights of the study:
Eighty percent understand that smoking, high
cholesterol, high blood pressure and diets high in animal
fat increase chances of heart disease, the leading cause
of death in America. ...
" About one-third of the adults responding to the study
said they smoke.
Eighty percent were heavy drinkers, 21 percent
moderate drinkers and 24 percent light drinkers. Twelve
percent saidTfteyJiad driven while intoxicated at least
once in the past year.
Less than one-half of the adult population exercises on
a regular basis and only one-quarter has done so for five
or more years. * ’ J__- —^
, Only one-third of adults wore seat belts most of the ®
time; another third never used seat belts. ._
There was this bright spot; Nearly 25 percent of adults
surveyed had quit smoking and 55 percent of the urgent, knowledgeable warnings of under!- advice was unheeded by top officials.
