Although it’s displayed in many stores when' classical music usually means old Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley tunes, the record has sold a cool 178.-0(M) copies since December, “and it’s still selling." says Warner singles sales manager Mark Maitland Other record companies are jumping on the bandwagon There’s a disco version out by the Philadelphia Luv Ensemble for Pavillion Records, and in March PBS Masterworks is releasing a two-in-one "Bolero" with a re-release of Leonard Bernstein conducting the Orchestre National de France on one side and a Moog synthesizer version on the other "It’s a boom time for ‘Boleros.’ that’s for sun*.” said Masterworks spokeswoman Susan Koscis "If there’s any time that a record company is going to sell its Boleros, it’s now ” At Tower Records in West Hollywood, singles buyer Richard Petitpas said he believes the Bo Derek poster has a lot to do with the sales of the single, running about 20 a week. So. apparently, did Warner Rros.. which plastered the poster on a special display box for the disc. Petitpas put it bv the cash register, but it isn’t there now. "Somebody stole it." he said • CULVER CITY. Calif. <AP) Actor David Janssen, the three-time Emmy nominee who died at home last week at the age of 48. was eulogized Sunday as a “true professional, a superstar .” More than 300 people, including dozens of film and television stars, attended a memorial service in a tinv chapel at the Hillside Memorial Park for the actor best known for his lead role in “The Fugitive” series Director Richard Lang, who directed many of "The Fugitive" programs, described Janssen during the brief non-de-nominational service at Hillside Memorial Park as “humorous and kind, nasty and charming. God he was fun.” Janssen’s close friend, actress Suzanne Pleshette. said the actor’s “gruff and unsentimental” disposition was “in my opinion, perfect.” Janssen’s wooden coffin was lined with 7rtfl gardenias flown in from Hawaii. The flowers had a special meaning for his wife. Dani, as the couple had a running gag of sending them to each other. Grcshler said Pallbearers included singer Rod Stewart, actors Gregory Peck. Gene Kelly and Richard Harris, comedian Milton Berle. Miss Pleshette’s husband. Tom Gallagher, and Janssen’s friend Stan Herman Janssen died Wednesday of a heart attack

Vitamin C no proven cure-all

By G. Timothy Johnson. M.D. Dear Dr. Johnson: I keep hearing that vitamin C cures everything. What’s the true story? -- Patricia H., Hartford. Conn. Dear Patricia: There is no doubt that vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential nutrient. If you don’t get enough, the result -- over a long time - is a disease called scurvy. But beyond that, our knowledge is uncertain There are those who claim huge doses of vitamin C can cure, or at least alleviate, the common cold. .Some also claim that it’s effective against cancer and heart disease, plus a whole list of other ailments. As far as I know, there have been no rigidly controlled tests to document these claims. Indeed, there is some rather persuasive evidence that vitamin C is not truly effective in these conditions. My inclination is to avoid huge doses of anything until there’s solid proof of its effectiveness. Dear Dr. Johnson: I’ve heard that many people, while skiing, break their legs in a strange way, somehow related to the shape of the boot. Is that true? - Kenneth J . Sebastopol, Calif Dear Kenneth: There have been reports that more people are suffering what we call ‘‘spiral fractures” of the legs. Rather than being simple breaks, these fractures are the result of a severe twisting motion I don't think it has been documented that the fractures

are caused by new boots, but it has been suggested that the newer boots, which extend much farther up the legs than the older ones, may tend to shift the breaking point higher up. The most important factor is to be sure your ski bindings allow the boot to slip off the ski when a twisting becomes too severe. Dear Readers: Those of you fortunate enough to take winter vacations in southern climates should remember to be careful about sunburn. After you’ve B.J. Becker

MERYL STREEP: Woody who? NEW YORK < AP) As Woody Allen’s ex-wife in “Manhattan. Mervl Streep was ready to spill the sordid, inside dope on their marriage and divorce in a book In an interview in the March issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. the actress says the movie’s writer-director star is “very much of a womanizer, very self involved ” “But I only worked on thi* film for three days, and I didn’t get to know Woody Who gels to know Woody?” She thought the movie was “entertaining” and that she looked pretty, but she had some sharp comments loo: “On a certain level, thh film offends me because it’s about all these people whose sole concern is discussing their emotional states or their neuroses. “It’s sad. because Woody has the potential to be America’s Chekhov, but instead, he’s still caught up in the jet-set crowd type of life and trivializing his talent.” Asked if she’ll work with Allen again, she said, “I don’t think Woody Allen even remembers me.” • UNITED NATIONS (AP) Gloria Swanson got into pictures at 14. onto the stage at '43 and into fashion at 52 and now. at 80, she is about to show off her little known talent for art She has painted a picture for a first-day cover to go with a U N. stamp being issued March 7 to commemorate the U N.

been locked away in winter clothing for several months, it’s not wise to over-expose your skin. I realize you may not have much time to work on your tan, but you should still ease yourself into it slowly. There’s no sense in spoiling your whole vacation by making yourself uncomfortable with sunburn. In addition, we’re beginning to learn that the idea of a “healthy tan” is a bit of a myth. There seems to be a clear correlation between the dangerous ultra-violet light

Olympiad. The final contract was the same at both tables three notrump played by South but the outcome was altogether different. At the first table, where Giorgio Belladonna was declarer for Italy, West led the ten of hearts. Declarer won in dummy with the queen, led the queen of diamonds which held, then the jack of diamonds which lost to West’s king. West shifted to the ten of spades and the Taiwanese East, overly impressed by his spade holding, signaled with the seven. It was a fatal error. Belladonna won the spade with the king and ran ten tricks for a score of 430 points. Had East taken the ten of spades with the ace and returned a heart, Belladonna would have gone down two. East should have realized from declarer’s approach to the play leading diamonds instead of clubs that South

almost surely had the A-K-x of clubs. , At the second table, after the same bidding, West led the nine of hearts against three notrump. The Taiwanese declarer promptly let the cat out of the bag when he won the heart lead in dummy with the queen, cashed five club tricks, and then finessed the queen of diamonds. This series of plays enabled East to signal possession of the ace of spades at the same time as it allowed West to discard two low spades and a low diamond, thus emphasizing that West’s sole interest was in encouraging a heart return. Accordingly, upon winning the diamond queen with the king, the Italian West led the ten of spades to his partner’s ace, got a heart return, and the result was that the Taiwanese declarer went down two for a team loss of 530 points.
