People in the news Actress' death is ruled accidental LOS ANGELES (AP) Tipsy and evidently wanting to get away from the yacht where her husband and another actor were arguing, Natalie Wood tried to step into a rubber dinghy but fell into the water and drowned, officials say. The 43-year-old actress had been drinking champagne and wine, and "this was one of the factors involved in her not being able to respond in case of emergency," County Coroner Thomas Noguchi said Monday after certifying the death as accidental drowning. There was a scratch on her cheek when her body was found Sunday morning, such as might have come from hitting her head on the yacht or some part of the dinghy, Noguchi said. Miss Wood's husband, actor Robert Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken had been arguing aboard the yacht, but not over Miss Wood, Assistant Coroner Richard Wilson said Monday at a news conference after an autopsy. "They were arguing about things in general. There was no physical altercation," Wilson said. He said Walker and Wagner both had been examined, and “there were no marks upon them.” Noguchi said the argument "apparently...was the reason she (Miss Wood) separated herself from the group.” The yacht was anchored off Santa Catalina Island when Miss Wood, wearing a blue nightgown, knee-high socks and a red down jacket, disappeared early Sunday at the remote northern end of the island 26 miles from Los Angeles, officials said. The Wagners, Walken and the captain of the yacht ate dinner on the island which is 26 miles offshore from Los Angeles and had returned to the Splendour around midnight Saturday. Noguchi said Miss Wood’s blood-alcohol level was 0.14 percent. In California, 0.10 percent is the legal criterion for drunk-driving. “I would not consider her drunk,” Noguchi said. “She had wine and champagne, perhaps seven or eight glasses of wine.” Miss Wood's body was found just beneath the surface of the water a half-mile away from where she disappeared. The body was about 200 yards from the 13-foot outboard dinghy. The dinghy’s ignition was in the “off” position. Meanwhile, a friend of the family who asked not to be named said Miss Wood’s funeral probably would be held Wednesday with only a few family members and friends invited. The location was being kept secret. Wagner remained in seclusion. “I would say the chances of him discussing the incident are totally zero. He’s just totally devastated by this,” said Warren Cowan, whose firm, Rogers and Cowan, served as Miss Wood’s agent. NEW YORK (AP) Actress Gina Lollobrigida has filed a $5 million damage suit against a New York City restaurant, claiming she suffered “severe personal injuries” when she bit into a hard object while dining there. The actress, who lives in Rome, filed the suit in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, but the defendant, Trader Vic’s, petitioned last Friday to have the case removed to U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Miss Lollobrigida said she ate at Trader Vic’s on June 17, 1980, and was served food that was “improper for human consumption.” The 53-year-old actress claimed that she suffered severe injuries to her head, body, limbs and nervous system. She said she was forced to seek medical care as a result and that some of the injuries she suffered were permanent. The food was not described in the suit. • NEW YORK (AP) Barbra Streisand is asking more than sll million in damages in a lawsuit that claims there was an illegal conspiracy to sell unauthorized video recordings of her performances. The copyright and trademark infringement action was filed Monday in U.S. District Court against All Star Video Corp. of Levittown; Electric Video Inc. of Hicksville; Less and Beatrice Rubinowitz, a Farmingdale couple; and Steven Friedman of Manhattan. The actress and singer claimed in court papers that the defendants were part of a joint venture advertising and selling video recordings entitled “The Barbra Streisand Story” in two volumes.
Broadway Beat Burt Reynolds serious about adoption idea
By JOEY SASSO Burt Reynolds is under fire after reports that his bid to adopt a child has been thwarted because he’s single. “Rubbish,” says Lorrie Kellogg of Universal Aid for Children Inc., a Miami-based international placement service. “If Burt Reynolds really wanted to adopt a child, he could probably have one within three months.” Reynolds recently told Gary Collins that in 1973 an adoption board turned down his request to adopt a child because of rumors about his lifestyle. “They felt I couldn’t be responsible enough,” the 45-year-old star said. “I said: ‘I don’t care if it’s black, white, yellow or red.’ I have something I want to share with him.” Reynolds gave no idication he had changed his mind. He told Collins: “I would desperately like to have children. This would be the perfect time. Actor Jack Nicholson is giving up his career -- temporarily, at least-to find the girl of his dreams. “I’m giving up movies for a year,” says Nicholson, who most recently starred in a sexy remake of “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” “I’ve got to find the right woman.” The actor has a sizzling reputation as a womanizer. And he freely admits he went into the movies to win the pretty girls. “I was a shy young man and becoming an actor helped out.” , *** SWING SET CONFIDENTIAL: Roger Moore, suave star of the James Bond movies, admits he’s really a nervous wreck underneath his supercool image. The handsome 53-year-old actor, who is now starring in his fifth 007 epic, “‘For Your Eyes Only,” says he’s petrified everytime he steps in front of the camera “My sophistication is really only a veneer to cover my quivering and shaking nerves,” he says. “I learned early in my career that if you show your nervousness, you’ve had it.”

DOUG HENNlNG:Won'tdisappear
FAIRFIELD, lowa (AP) The wedding of magician Doug Henning and his bride at Maharishi International University will be more than just a marriage ceremony it will be part of the inauguration of a second meditation dome, school officials say. What’s a meditation dome? The Golden Dome is a round, 20,000-square-foot structure built for group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, a part of the MIU curriculum. Henning, who attended the university and is a member of its Development Advisory Council, will marry Debby Douillard, an artist from Westchester County, N.Y., on Dec. 6. School officials say 1,500 guests have been invited, and will easily be accommodated in the dome. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who founded the university, is expected to attend. • Much was made over the weekend about reports from Mussy Brandon, the White House social secretary, that the first family was down to its last six tablecloths, and some of them were pretty threadbare at that. “A terrible tablecloth crisis” is what Mrs. Brandon called it, and, what is more, she said, there was not a penny available to buy replacements for the fast-depleting tablecloth stock. Well, things are not all that bad, Sheila Tate, press secretary to Nancy Reagan, said Monday, as she sought to give assurances that the White House could make do with its present supply of tablecloths. “I don’t think that we have a crisis here,” Mrs. Tate said.“l don’t see this as a frightening thing.” It is true that the supply of White House napery is insufficient and that some of it is ragged around the edges, Mrs. Tate said, but there are are no plans to rush out and buy replacements. • A follow-up: J. Paul Getty 3d, the stricken 25-year-old grandson of the late oil billionaire, won a legal round Monday in his effort to force his father, J. Paul Getty Jr., to pay his son’s $28,000 in monthly medical expenses. The younger Getty, a Los Angeles resident who suffered a stroke last April and has since been described as blind and unable to speak, had sued his father under a California law that requires financially able parents to care for incapacitated adult children. His father, however, sought to avoid a trial on the ground that, as a resident of London, he was beyond jurisdiction of the California law. Monday, Judge Bruce R. Geernaert of Superior Court in Los Angeles rejected the father’s claim as “absurd,” clearing the way for a trial. In issuing the ruling, Geernaert said that the father had the time and money “to measure up to his moral obligation” and that he “should be ashamed of himself .”
Ann Jillian has lashed out to deny charges stemming from her bitter feud with showbiz legend Ann Miller. The sexy star of the TV comedy “Making A Living” claims she was verbally attacked by Miller and the producers of the Broadway musical “Sugar Babies,” in which the two actresses worked together. “I am making no apologies because I’ve done nothing wrong,” Jillian said. “This royal battle has only started now because I have started getting in the spotlight.” *** I INSIDE HOLLYWOOD: Olivia Newton-John says she’s sick and tired of her goody-goody image. And the beautiful blonde is determined to shatter it once and for all. “There are far more parts to me than the girl-next-door image,” she says. “I’m not what could be called a tough woman, but I’m not a goody-goody.” One of the things that Olivia has done to prove she’s no angel is strike up a torrid romance with a man 10 years younger than her - 23-year-old actor Matt Lattanzi. Kris Kristoferson has only one girl in his life these dayshis seven-year-old daughter Casey. Kris, also claims he has sworn off marriage forever. And even his career takes a back seat to fatherhood. “I’m a bachelor father now,” he says. “Casey means more to me than films or music. She’s my friend, companion and love.” Britt Ekland hotly denies she’s a money-grubbing blond bombshell who lives off the men in her life. “I’m tired of people making such accusations, Britt confided. “Most people think the dollars pour over me and that I’m really rich because I took huge alimony payments from my husband,” says Britt, who was married to the late Peter Sellers. “But it’s just not true, I’ve really done it all mysell and nobody's given me credit for achieving a comfortable lifestyleand raising two children properly.”
Supermarket Shopper Grocery stores strive to help dieting customers
By MARTIN SLOANE One of the greatest problems for people on new diets is supermarket shopping. All of the familiar products that have been regulars on the shopping list must be carefully investigated. Many are discovered to be “off limits.” Now begins a slow and painstaking search for new items that meet the dietary requirements. SUPERMARKETS CAN HELP their customers cope with these problems. This is what several thoughtful chains are doing: Kroger’s “Nutrition Data” program provides important nutritional information on more than 100 fresh produce and meat items. Shelf signs in the produce and meat sections list the calories, vitamins, minerals, fat, protein and sodium in the various products. Schnuck’s Supermarkets, a Missouri-based chain, put more than a year of research and development into the design of its “Nutri Guide” program. Color-coded shelf tags assist shoppers who are on special diets to locate foods within the store. THERE ARE DIFFERENT codes for fat-modified, caloriecontrolled and sodium-restricted diets. The same coding is used in brochures that list each Nutri Guide-identified item in the store. Giant Food in the Washington, D.C., area uses a special word code on shelf price labels to identify foods that are low in calories, sodium fats and cholesterol. The chain also provides shoppers with a special brochure that lists all foods in these categories. Byerly Foods in Minnesota’s Twin Cities has prepared eight “Special Foods Shopping Guides.” Among them are guides for those on gluten-restricted and high-fiber diets. Each booklet offers a program of recipes and a shopping list of items available in the store. In addition, color-coded shelf markers identify appropriate foods. In Boston, Stop and Shop has developed a line of vegetables canned without salt. The varieties include peas, corn, green beans, carrots, beets and mixed vegetables. These products, which are packed in water without additives or sugar, were introduced in response to consumer concerns after two years of research and testing. THESE SUPERMARKETS AND others that have introduced similar programs should be applauded for their thoughtfulness to their customers. I hope that others will follow their good example. Refunding Note: Several companies are showing consideration for customers who are on restricted diets by accepting proofs of purchase from their low-sodium or unsalted products as well as from their regular products. These com-

Worry Clinic
By George W. Crane, Ph.D., M.D
Dr. Mark’s wife wants him to save his libido; add 7 years to his lifespan; salvage $5,000 of lost income yearly; receive $350,000 more dental fees, plus all his Social Security checks! CASE Z-4592: Mark J., age 35, is a popular dental surgeon. “But, Dr. Crane,” his worried wife began, “Mark is now a chain smoker. “And our physician says his blood pressure is 190 / 95, so he urges Mark to stop the cigarette habit. “But Mark says the precise surgery at the dental operative chair keeps a dentist so tense that he craves an outlet for that prolonged mental strain. “So what can be done to save my husband from a heart attack or stroke, due to his tobacco habit?” TOBACCO FACTS The cigarette habit usually starts when adolescents are in the middle teens. And begins because the usual high schooler feels timid and sheeplike, so he wishes to meld with the herd. Thus, the advertiser knows that if he links cigarettes with cowboys, lumberjacks, or other idols of timid teenage boys, they will demonstrate the old monkey adage that states: “Monkey see; monkey do!” Besides, such youth are somewhat tense from stage fright when on a date so they crave an outlet for their pent up inner energy! Waving their hand and arm around in the act of smoking will thus drain off some of this inner excitement.
he raises to Four Clubs. What would you bid now? ★ * * 1. Four spades. You could double and beat two clubs badly if the bidding ended there, but your double would have to survive a pass by each of the others at the table before you could start counting your chickens. It is more likely that your opponents would discover a heart or diamond fit perhaps quite a good one if you doubled, and it is therefore better to eliminate that possibility by leaping straight to four spades. It would be wrong to bid only three spades, which is not for-
That’s why Dr. Mark says he uses cigarettes to reduce that inner strain of precise surgical movements. Here are quick ways to break the cigarette habit: (1) Use the same hand and arm muscles to release pentup energy, as by twirling your key chain. Or by opening a package of candy coated gum Chidets, where the same arm and hand will shake out a Chiclet, place it in your mouth and then let your jaw muscles operate for 30 minutes instead of the 5 minutes the dgarette arm usually was in action. (2) Keep a rubber ball in your pocket and squeeze it continually when your former “cigarette arm” craves action. For it isn’t nicotine hunger but an arm hunger for action that keeps the cigarette habit continuing. A medical experiment in World War 11, showed that when the tobacco’s nicotine was reduced to almost nothing, the smokers didn’t notice the difference! Remind adult smokers, too, of the reduced sexual libido in smokers! Plus the fact 75% of dental patients do NOT smoke, so a smoking doctor alienates an estimated $5,000 of such income yearly! By his dying 7 years early, his family loses $350,000 of his income! And he will thus not collect a single Social Security check!

cing. It is hard to imagine four losers, once partner opens with one spade. The hand takes on a new look when partner bids spades, and becomes equivalent to an opening bid. 2. Three hearts. Most players treat two spades or three clubs in this sequence as competitive and not forcing, and it is therefore better to make a bid that leads to game. You hope partner will bid three spades, in which case you raise him to four. If his rebid is three notrump, indicating heart strength, pass. If he bids four clubs or diamonds, raise him to five. 3.

tain and it is best to grab the sure profit. You can probably beat two diamonds two or three tricks. 4. Four diamonds. A slam seems imminent, and the question is how or whether to reach it. Four diamonds shows first-round control and interest in a slam; if you wanted only a game, you would bid five clubs over four. The next step is up to partner. If he bids four spades or four notrump, you are on the way to six or seven, but if all he does is bid five clubs, you must withdraw because of the likelihood of losing two spade tricks.
