A thought for the day:

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
There is at least one good
thing to be said for the
presence of Russian troops in
Afghanistan. They have
served to take our minds off
the presence of Russian
troops in Cuba.
Apparently, however, there
remains some doubt as to
whether the Afghanistan
crisis should be regarded as
the moral equivalent of an
Olympics boycott.
As of last week, the U.S.
Olympics Committee was re-
ported still hopeful that
American athletes would be
able to compete in Moscow.
Nevertheless, arrangements
for "alternate games" are
being discussed.
If the committee is open to
suggestions, I would like to
propose as a substitute the
world’s first Commuter
Olympics. M
In our desire to get even
with the Soviets for invading
Afghanistan, we should not
lose sight of the energy crisis.
The Commuter Olympics
would do both, combining the
highly developed competitive
instincts of rush hour
motorists with skill in saving
gasoline.
A number of prospective
events spring to mind. Since
ride-sharing is one prime
means of conservation, the
Commuter Olympics
definitely should include the
thrilling Four-man Car Pool
Run.
Offhand, I can't think of a
better site for that event than
the car pool course that
stretches several miles south
of here down the median strip
of I-95.

What happened to Big John?
WASHINGTON (NEA) - No matter what happens from here
on, in the future when old political reporters gather to fondly
remember Campaign 80, it will be John Connally about whom
they will reminisce most. His dream of the White House came
to an end two days after his dismal finish in South Carolina
when he announced in the ballroom of a Houston hotel that he
was accepting the inevitable. He was calling it quits.
The Connally run may be the last of the old-style big bucks
campaigns in this age of campaign-spending limitations. It
may be the last one in which a candidate runs wide open
everywhere at once in this age of pick-your-spot-and-concen-
trate campaigns
Connally began his quest early enough — more than two
years ago, in fact. Ano he had enough money, raising more
than 810 million, the most of any candidate. But from the very
beginning, he and his campaign organization made some basic
errors and, in the end, they were impossible to overcome
Eddie Mahe. a respected political professional, ran the Con-
nally campaign For him, it was the old-style game With what
appeared to be unlimited funds at his disposal, he hired politi-
cal professionals right and left. At one point, he was paying
top dollar to more than 500 operatives.
For the Connally campaign, it was always first class In
those days, most of the other early starters, such as George
Bush, were traveling with one or two aides, flying commercial
and staying at Holiday Inns Big John and his sizable retinue
were never without their chartered Lears and only stayed in
the best suites of the best hotels.
And who will ever forget some of the parties Big John
threw for delegates? In the summer of '79, it was a rare week-
end indeed that planeloads of potential delegates and report-
ers were not flown to the ranch in Texas to receive the full
treatment
After all, it appeared that the money would never end It
poured in from corporate contributors who felt that Connally
was their candidate, one of their own
Then, suddenly, the campaign began making some major
blunders
The campaign's biggest error undoubtedly was the decision
to run full out in all primary states, ignoring the political
calendar and the importance of the early tests. From the very
start, the Connally people said Iowa was no more important
than Florida. New Hampshire no more important than Illi-
nbis So it was full out everywhere
But then came the early results Connally got 9 percent of
the vote in Iowa, less than 1 percent in Puerto Rico and less
than 2 percent in New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota and
Massachusetts
The kind of men backing the Connally campaign were prag-
matic, hardheaded businessmen who can spot a loser and nev-
er send good money after bad So, when Connally started post-
ing such low vote totals, the money dried up
Actually, this was a campaign suffering from snakebite
from the start.
Ida Mills is a nice, 67-year-old from Clarksville, Ark She
likes John Connally and will go to the Republican convention
in Detroit as his only delegate How she was chosen really
typifies the whole Connally campaign and is the basis of
future political campfire stones
Arkansas will send 24 delegati who were chosen by fewer
than 200 Republican regulars, to the convention Rather than
stump the state himself, Connally had all 200 bused to Fair-
field Bay, a luxury resort in the Ozarks, for a weekend on him.
Saturday was given over to booze and food and good times
On Sunday morning, all gathered for a breakfast where the
candidate was to make his pitch.
Just as Connally was about to speak, an older man came up
to wish him well, reached (or his hand and died on the spot of
a heart attack.
A pall fell over the group Prayers were said for the
deceased Connally got up and, in a show of what was
described as "oratorical brilliance,” began a eulogy of the
deceased that ended with all those assembled on their feet for
a give-em-hell stump speech
The dead man's widow later told a reporter she was sure
her husband died happy shaking the hand of John Connally.
The assembled were bused home and, a week later, gave 23 of
their 24 delegates to Ronald Reagan

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB I am 27
years old and my wife is 25
We had a child eight months
ago Ever since the baby was
born, almost all affection has
gone and things are getting
worse We make love about
ohce a week with no prelimi-
nary affection There's no
hugging or cuddling or kissing
in our lives I'm very frustrat-
ed and confused I've tried to
do everything I can to try to
improve our relationship but
with no success Do I have a
right to be concerned or will
this pass'1
What is usually a normal
amount of sex for people of
our age? She seems to believe
I'm oversexed because I just
want to cuddle before making
love I'm really beginning to
believe it's me I wish you'd
comment on this as I know of
other couples in our age group
with this problem
DEAR READER - Most
wives would be delighted if
their husbands were more
affectionate, judging from the
mail 1 receive The usual com-
plaint by the wife is that the
man is more interested in just
sex than he is in providing any
affection Everyone needs
love It's part of a healthy life
style And when I say love in
this context, I don't mean just
sex
There is no set number for
the frequency of sexual rela-
tionships in marriage It
depends entirely on the people
and people do have different
levels of sex desire Hopeful-
ly, in a marriage the two part-
ners try to adjust to each
others' needs, which might
require some degree of com-
promise on both individuals'
part I must say, though, that
once a week is certainly not
considered excessive Many
couples would consider it
infrequent
If your letter is truly an
accurate representation of
your marital relations. I
believe you would both profit
from seeing a marriage coun-
selor at an early date There
has to be a reason why your
wife does not want you to be
affectionate with her The
sooner this is resolved, the
better chance your marriage
will have of success
it is true that the birth of a
child will sometimes disrupt
the normal marital relations
By that I mean the emotional
reaction the couple has
toward each other Neverthe-
less, most couples adjust to
this and find there's room for
affection fpr all ne children
and parents - in ‘pFoviding a
normal balanced family life
DEAR DR LAMB - I had
a baby 14 weeks ago and am
breastfeeding I would like to
start a jogging program and
am interested in your opinion
on jogging after childbirth
and while breastfeeding
DEAR READER - There's
nothing wrong with it The
only suggestion I would make
would be to be certain and
have a well-supporting bras-
siere I think women who jog
and are reasonably well
endowed should all do this
anyway to help prevent
stretching of internal tendons
which a woman might not
appreciate later
READERS WHO ARE con-
cerned about reports of jogg-
ing deaths and want informa-
tion can send 75 cents with a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope for The Health Let-
ter number 13-4. A Perspec-
tive on Jogging Deaths

Carter’s faltering attempts
to deal with inflation have
been based mainly on a sort
of evangelical approach -
appealing to Big Business
and Big Labor to moderate
their moneymaking tenden-
cies voluntarily
In the case of Big Busi-
ness, this call for Christian
forbearance has fallen on
deaf ears. There are few
born-again businessmen
when increased profit mar-
gins are at stake
The sad, blunt truth is that
the president's voluntary
wage and price guidelines
are not working A specific
and glaring example is in
the home heating fuel indus-
try.
The mercifully mild win-
ter has allowed many of the
nation's poor to avoid a
drastic "heat or eat" dilem-
ma. But it hasn't kept the oil
companies from raking in
unconscionable profits on
home heating fuel.
The oil companies howl
about their increased costs
and claim that the skyrock-
eting price of fuel oil does
not reflect a greedy grab for
profits Figures from con-
gressional investigators and
the president s own Council
on Wage and Price Stability
throw considerable doubt on
these pious claims, however
In September 1978, a
month before Carter's vol-
untary guidelines were
announced, a gallon of heat-

refiner paid about 29 cents

her in the Aghan area of

Kabul.
Ms. Green said she wrote
her Afghan contacts and
received an immediate reply
assuring her there would be
"no problem" in supplying
her with the socks. However,
she said, the letter indicated
there were two obstacles —
destination of the shipment
and, the main worry, the
political situation.
The young importer says
she can’t understand what the
Russians would want with
Afghanistan, a country with
few natural resources,
rugged terrain and tough
individualism, except as a
stepping stone to Iran.
Or, maybe, her socks?
"There’s no gold, silver, oil
or shipping ports, so it’s got to
be the socks," she mused.
"Well, they DO have cold
winters in the Soviet Union.”

game — one which pays for

who loves to hit the road.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Mary Green would like to
sock it to the Russians in
Afghanistan.
The trim, energetic woman
went to Afghanistan on her
honeymoon four years ago.
She retarded with a bundle of
intricately knit, colorful,
knelength Afghan socks that
not only paid for the trip but
launched her on a lucrative
import business and made
her lifelong friends in the
Soviet occupied country.
Now she’s waiting
anxiously to see if a promised
shipment of about 22,000 pair
of the highquality socks will
find their way out of
Afghanistan and into the .
hands of her sales staff of
colorful, turbanned Sikhs
from Afghanistan now living
in the United States.
“Theoretically, I'll get my
socks. It's an interesting
country to deal with.
“I really love the people
there," she said. "And they
love Americans. When they
found out I was an American
they’d do anything for me."
Her “hobby" of importing
items to pay for her travels
has mushroomed into a six-
figure business. In addition to
a line of ethnic “socks around
the world," she has branched
into handcrafted “belts
around the world" and
carved wooden "combs
around the world."
course so challenging is the
famous “Pentagon double
bend," two strategically-
placed curves that divert
traffic away from the
Department of Defense.
Missing a turn in one
direction can plunge a car
pool into the mysterious
depths of the Pentagon
parking lot, from whence
there is no return. Missing a
turn in another direction can
carry a car pool into
Arlington National Cemetery
with its forbidding maze of
one-way streets and
restrictive speed limits.
Car pools thus sidetracked
would have a shot at winning
an Olympic medal in com-
muting.
On the straighaway, the
trick is to avoid the yellow
rubber cones that road crews
move from lane to lane.
There is, of course, no
penalty for knocking over a

if a car pool drives on the

large blinking arrow pointing
in the other direction.
But probably the most
crucial stage is the beginning
of the run when the driver is
picking up the riders.
Precious seconds can tick
away if a passenger dashes
back to get his briefcase or
otherwise fails to sychronize
his movements with the rest
of the car pool.
I feel sure our world class
athletes would relish com-
peting in “alternate games”
of this type. And it would
serve to take their minds off
the presence of Olympic
teams in Russia.
