Baker, following a.recent political dinner in Maine. The Tennessee Republican still had

nomination. (
She needs lifestyle change
DEAR DR LAMB - I've
got jnore than one problem I
just spent $5000 to get some
answers and still don't have
any.
I’m a 48-year-old female, 5
foot 6-and'-a-half and 130
pounds and I’m troubled with
hard pounding and speeding
up of the heart. I’ve had this
for 20 years. I’ve been on eve-
ry medicine you can mention
and still I have at least two
very bad attacks a year.
I smoke six to 10 cigarettes
a day. don't drink alcohol but
I do drink six to eight cups of
coffee a day.
One night while at work
(I’m a bartender), I had a ter-
rific pain in the base of the
skull — so bad that it buckled
my knees. I was weak for a
few minutes and then it went
away I had an appointment
with the doctor the next week
anyhow and so I told him
about it. The subsequent
events included consultations
and X-rays, brain scans, you
name it, I had it, and nothing
of significance was found. I
was afraid I had had a stroke.
What really bothers me: in
the test where they put the
dye in the artery in your leg to
visualize the arteries in your
brain they had trouble with
the injections and they' only
got three pictures instead of
the five they wanted. Could
they have missed something?
More recently the doctor
said he hadn’t been too wor-
you’rb complaining about 1
think you ought to quit the
coffee immediately.
You might want to taper off
the coffee to prevent having a
severe headache from the
^health
it-l
Lawrence E.Lamb.M.D.
ried about my attacks until
the last one which he said was
approaching the lower cham-
bers, but I don’t know what
that means. And he also said
something about malignancy.
Can you shed any light on all
of this?
DEAR READER 1 won’t
be able to solve your total
problem but there are two
things that would be helpful.
First, you need to stop drink-
ing all that coffee. I’d like you
to quit smoking, too, but the
coffee may be more impor-
tant in your case. Both of
these habits tend to stimulate
irritable spots in the heart
that can trigger irregular
beats and the kinds of attacks
withdrawal symptoms you'll
have from your addiction tb
caffeine. I'm sending you The
Health Letter number 14-4,
Controversial Beverages:
Coffee, Tea, Colas and Choco-
late.
The second thing that might
help would be a better under-
standing of your irregular
heartbeats. For that reason,
I’m sending you The Health
Letter number 6-12, Heart
Irregularities, Skipped Beats
and tachycardias.
None of the conditions you
described have anything to do
with a malignancy

Consumer Reports
Oven’s energy appetite
By the Editors
of Consumer Reports
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — Which uses less
energy — a small electric
toaster-oven cooking for one
hour at 400 degrees F, or a
regular gas oven run at the
same temperature for the
same time?
DEAR READER - If what,
you intend to cook is small
enough to fit into the toaster-
oven, then the toaster-oven
would use less energy. Howev-
er., depending on local energy
rates, it might cost more to
run than the gas oven.
DEAR- CONSUMER
REPORTS - I'd like to
replace with French doors the
sliding glass doors that go
from my dining room to the
putside of the house. Will I
save energy with this change?
DEAR READER - That
would depend on whether the
new doors seal tighter than
the old ones. If they do, you
can save even more energy by
using insulating glass. And,
whether or not you change the
doors, you’d get even better
insulation by adding remov-
able tight-fitting storm doors.
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — For economic
reasons, I often save cooking
oil after frying. And I reuse it
once, sometimes twice. It
seems to work well, but are
there any unseen disadvan-
tages?
DEAR READER - The
greatest economy in using
cooking oils or fats comes
from being able to reuse the
product several times. Those
fats and oils with higher
“smoke points” are more
readily reusable. The tem-
perature at which a fat or oil
begins to smoke is an indica-
tor of its smoke point.
If your oil smokes you out
of the kitchen when you’re
cooking at much less than
350-degrees F, then it proba-
bly isn’t the best product for
reuse.
The oil used to fry one food
- say, fish - won’t necessar-
ily harm the flavor of a differ-
ent dish on the second use. We
fried donuts in oil that bad
already been used for fish,
without doing the slightest
harm to the donuts’ flavor.
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — Which would
make a better gift for a col-
lege student - a manual port-
able typewriter or an electric
portable?
DEAR READER - That
depends on how the .student
will use the typewriter. For
someone carrying it on per-
iodic trips from an out-of-
town campus to home and
back, a manual might be
better ‘Manuals generally are
light — usually 10 to 15
pounds — while electrics are
heavier — often from 25 to 30
pounds. In addition, the
electric’s need for a socket
reduces portability for some-
one who might like to type
away from an outlet.
On the other hand, electrics
produce better-looking copy
than manuals, a plus to a stu-
dent who places great impor-
tance on the appearance of
her or his research papers.
Also, electrics qffer light-
touch keys and a variety of
other features to make typing
easier.
For brand-and-model rat-
ings of 33 portable manual
typewriters, see the Novem-
ber 1979 issue of Consumer
Reports. It also contains
brand-name ratings of elec-
tric shavers and washing
machines. (To order, send
$1.25 to: From Consumer
Reports, F9111, Box: 9000,
Orangeburg, NY 10961)
One important considera-
tion for many when choosing
a gift is cost. The portable
electrics we tested in 1977
were as much as twice the
price of many manuals rated
in our latest tests.

Ram Booster Eats Crow
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A
Los Angeles radio per-
sonality had to swallow more
than his pride in paying off a
Super Bowl bet with a Pitt-
sburgh colleague.
Donning a Pittsburgh
Steelers’ jersey as the first
step of the terms of his
wager with Pittsburgh radio
man Johnny Williams, Larry
Van Nuys sat down in the
KABC radio station parking
lot Sunday and ate crow.
“I think it was a crow,”
the 38-year-old broadcaster
said afterward. “I asked for
a crow and it was something
that looked like a crow. It
tasted very much the way
you’d expect a crow to
taste."
The concoction Van Nuys
downed on the air — both on
his own morning news show
and on Williams’ broadcast
on WTAE in Pittsburgh — he
dubbed Swann Crow in honor
of Steelers’ wide receiver
Lynn Swann.
Van Nuys rounded out his
meal with a few side dishes
the L-os Angeles Rams found
a little too tough for their
taste during the Super Bowl:
some Mean Joe Greenes,
rice Stallworth and pie a la
Bradshaw — delicacies
named after Steelersj
defensive lineman “Mean”
Joe Greene, wide receiver
John Stallworth and quar-
terback Terry Bradshaw.
To keep the listeners in
Pittsburgh from crowing to
loudly, Van Nuys fudged the
weather report a bit and said
it was 85 degrees here when
actually it was quite a bit
cooler during the 8 a.m.
broadcast.
“Crazy bets don’t bother
me at all,” said an
unrepentant Van Nuys when
it was all over. “And I’d do it
again if I had to to back the
Rams.”

Bv ROBERT
WALLACE, Pb.D.
Copley News -Service
Dr. Wallace. 1 am a very
responsible, mature 15-year-
old girl. 1 get good grades in
school and 1 don’t smoke pot
or drink booze. My best girl-
friend is 18 and we have
-been best friends for five
years.
A while back, my friend
and 1 told mv parents that
we were going to a roller
skating rink but actually we
went to a drive-ln movie
(she has a car). Until then, I
had never lied about where 1
was going but 1 felt my
parents were wrong when
they told me that I couldn't
go to a drive-in because they
said so.
About two weeks ago my
girlfriend started seeing a
guy 22 who had a 23-year-old
roommate. One day my girl-
friend and 1 ended up in
their apartment. My dad
found out when he saw me
on the back of ihe motorcy-
cle owned bv the 22^ ear-old
W- ’ '
Now my parents have for
bidden me to see my girl-
friend. One reason they
stated was that this girl was
too old and "experienced”
for me.
I think they are unreason-
able because 1 have-known
this girl for five years and
they thought she was all
right until now.
1 am very depressed be-
cause my girlfriend Is the
only person who really un-
derstands me and the only
person who I want to hang
around, because ad the
other kids my age are into
pot and booze and I’m not.
— Kay, Elyria, Ohio
Kay: You have the idea
that since you are not on pot
or booze that you can do as
you please and that every-
thing is just fine. It’s nice
that pot and booze are not
for you, but I'll have to
agree that this 18-year-old
girlfriend appears to be too
old and experienced for you.
Eighteen-year-old girls
seeing 22-year-old guys is
fine but 15-year-old girls and
23-year-old guys are taboo
It’s time to make friends
your own age.
Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and
very confused. In the last
three months my whole
world h#s come part. First
my parents got a divorce
and then my best friend
stole my boyfriend.
1 try to talk to ray mom
about how 1 feel but she
always seems too busy to
talk. Lately, 1 have been
very depressed. Can you
please help me or tell me
what to do? — Shelly, San
Leandro. Calif.
Shelly: You need someone
to lean on. At school, stop by
and talk to your school coun-
selor and your school nurse.
If you have counselors or
teachers at your church —
seek them out also
Don't sit at home and feel
sorry for yourself Do
things, go places and stay
active. It's amazing what a
different outlook you would
have if you found a new
boyfriend or a dose girl “
friend.
Write to me again and tell
me how things are going.
Write to Dr. Robert Wal
lace, TwEEN 12 and 20, in

Like some bumper stickers aren’t funny, you know?
Like, “Insanity Is Hereditary. You Can Get It From
Your Children.” You’ve all seen that one, right?
For sure, I’ve got a few good hours left before I
check into the home, but as sure fa I’m sitting here
I’ve got the first symtoms of a case of children called,
“Trites Disease.” I mean really!
You’re not going to believe this, but I used to speak
in clear, concise, coherent sentences. At the end of
them my voice fell until it was almost inaudible. Then
a few years ago, every sentence became a question. I
began to develop creeping cliches. Not a lot at first,
but just a few “vou knows?” and a couple of
"reallys!” : - ,,,
Today, my brain has absolutely no control over my
mouth. It iust rambles. It reacts to every word ut-
tered whether it makes sense of not.
Like someone can say, “My dog died,” and I’ll
answer,-‘You’re kidding!”
Or someone will say, “Dad is beng held for ransom
and we need $10,000 in a bowling bag at the
playground by noon,” and I’ll reply quickly, “No
problem.”
My reaction to anything, whether it be winning th?
Pillsbury bake-off or the nomination for the
presidency, is “Awriiite.”
Like really! I’m an English major, you know?
I’m trying to fight this speech-crippling disease for
sure, but it isn’t easy with three kids running in and
out who speak nothing but children.
When I told my friends that I had taken “right on”
out of my vocabulary and was working on "sorry
’bout that,” my friends just smile.
“It won’t do any good,” they said. “Children are
carriers of all kinds of bad habits. Then they mature
and move on to adulthood and you’re stuck.”
Ixist night I was in my son’s apartment when he
stuffed peppers said, “Mom, sit up straight or your spine will grow
bro^rice SStretChedwlth that way- Aml 8et your feet off the furniture, I just
had it cleaned. Stop snacking or you won’t eat yoiir
dinner.”
I stood up and shouted, “Really, how rude! If I were
a few years older, I bet you’d have a little more
respect for me, right? Well, for sure, this is the last
time I put up with your nagging, you know?”
He outgrew it. Maybe I will too.
