People in the news Lennon's death moved NYC cop NEW YORK IAP) Steve Spiro drives his police cruiser past the dark arched gateway to the Dakota apartments off Central Park and tries not to think of the night a year ago when John Lennon died. He sees the fans who come to the gate with flowers and notes for Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, toys for his son, Sean, and cameras to record their visit. “The Beatle years were very happy for me,’’ says Spiro, 35. “I was young and single, running around ... being free.” Those were the years of sit-ins and love-ins; a time of four young men from Liverpool who looked like Prince Valiant and wound up playing like Sgt. Pepper. But as he passes the Dakota, Spiro, the first officer on the scene that night of Dec. 8, 1980, tries to forget the sight seared in his memory:The hero of his youth in a crumpled heap, bleeding to death. “Now, I don’t even want to look at the Dakota,” he says. “I see it and think how John had just released that single, ’Starting Over.’ I’d thought, ‘Wow, great, he’s making a comeback!’ That’s what really hurts.” A year later, the ex-Beatle’s death still touches his family and fans. Mark David Chapman, who waited to get John Lennon’s autograph on an album that night, only to return and kill the rock legend whose name he sometimes used, today works as a porter at the Attica state prison in western New York. Chapman is serving a 20-year-to-life sentence for Lennon’s murder. His lawyer wanted him to plead innocent by . reason of insanity. But God, says Chapman, told him to plead guilty. A defense psychiatric report portrayed Chapman as a ’ schizoid, tragically out of touch and out of control, who had created a childhood kingdom of imaginary subjects and come to believe John Lennon had taken over his personality. • WASHINGTON (AP) Five of America’s greatest performing artists, hailed by President Reagan for their “lofty standard of excellence,” were toasted at a gala celebration at the Kennedy Center. Band leader Count Basie, actor Cary Grant, actress Helen Hayes, choreographer Jerome Robbins, and pianist Rudolf Serkin sat with Reagan in the presidential box of the center’s Opera House and viewed a two-hour show in their honor, which was taped for broadcast Dec. 26 on the CBS television network. I Before going to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Reagan entertained the artists at a lavish White House reception. Humorist Art Buchwald got the evening off to a lighthearted start by looking up at Reagan from the stage and announcing that the Kennedy Center was doing its part to support his economic program. “We’ve taken Pavarotti off food stamps,” he said. “We’ve asked (Mstislav) Rostropovich to play only unfinished symphonies, and this year’s Messiah is being sung by the Teamsters Barbershop Quartet with a grant from Mobil Oil.” • Her family Christmas decorations are packed away and she is “getting frantic” about last-minute shopping, but Nancy Reagan looked like Christmas itself Monday as she conducted a tour of the gaily decorated state rooms of the White House. Wearing a bright red suit and matching blouse, Mrs. Reagan showed off the just decorated 19-foot Douglas fir trimmed with 800 ornaments that dominates the Blue Room and a variety of other yuletide touches. There were red poinsettias, white cyclamens and narcissus, holly and magnolia leaves, a tree decorated with ornaments from every state in the union, wreaths made of seashells by fifth graders in New Jersey and, in the state dining room, a traditional gingerbread house made of chocolate cookies, candy canes and a special Reagan touch a path of jelly beans leading to the front door. The festive mood was dampened when Mrs. Reagan was asked about reports that a squad of Libyans had been sent to assassinate her husband and other officials. Life, she said, has become "more confining,” and the first family will probably not attend Christmas Eve church services to avoid imposing stringent security measures on other churchgoers. Does she have a Christmas wish? “Yes.” she said, “I wish that everyone will have a peaceful, safe and sound New Year.”
Hollywood?
No, Fort Wayne is home to movie memorabilia
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) Tucked away in a halfdozen steel file cabinets in the basement of Fort Wayne’s main library is a movie buff’s treasure. Since 1972, the library has been the depository of the Harvey Cocks collection of movie memorabilia: thousands of movie stills, posters, Hollywood press kits and autographed pictures of personalities who played Fort Wayne theaters during the past five decades. The collection contains photographs of such film legends as Humphrey Bogart in “Casablanca,” Greta Garbo in “Ninotchka” and James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause.” These also are stills of lesser stars like Don Ameche, Brian Donlevy and Robert Young. One inventory record cites 9,967 stills of 2,432 actors in 1,469 movies. Yet few people know the collection exists. The donor, Harvey Cocks Jr., says only a a handful of persons borrow the material and many of them are out-of-state authors of movie-related books. “It’s what they call a closed collection right now,” he said. Anyone interested in borrowing some memorabilia must contact the library, which in turn obtains Cocks’ permission. Cocks, director of Fort Wayne’s Youth Theater, said he obtained most of the collection from his father. Harvey Cocks Sr., began acquiring the memorabilia as a theater manager and promoter and trouble-shooter for Paramount Publix. He eventually settled in Fort Wayne in 1941, and before his death in 1971, managed seven theaters here. As a result of his father’s position, the younger Cocks was exposed to show business at an early age. He recalls
DAVID BOWIE: Rock survivors Rock star-turned actor David Bowie says he once considered suicide because he hated the world of rock ‘n’ roll. Bowie put the glitter back into rock with his flame-colored hair, mascara and sequins, but it nearly destroyed the British singer. “There was a time when I believed I was coming to the end of my rope,” says Bowis, 34. "I seriously considered every possible way out. even suicide. I decided I hated the rock ‘n’ roll life. It’s not a life, only an existence. “I cut myself off from it, and immediately things got better. Now, rock ‘n’ roll is of little or no interest to me. I don’t even listen to rock music.” • Richard Mueller had been overweight since his high school days, and no amount of prompting by family, friends and business associates could get the 32-year-old executive to stop eating and start exercising. Then last year, Thomas Monaghan, the president of Domino’s Pizza Inc. in Ann Arbor, Mich., where Mueller was a company vice president, made one last try. If Mueller, who then weighed 260 pounds, could complete a 26.2-mile marathon by the end of 1981, Monaghan would give him $50,000. On Saturday, 13 grueling months and 90 pounds after the offer was made, Mueller ran the Baton Rouge marathon in Louisiana and claimed his prize. Mueller, who has left the company and now operates 15 of its franchises in Louisiana and Mississippi, acknowledged that his effort had not been easy. “You know how long it took me to run my first mile?” he asked. “About seven months.” Mueller, who also cut back on his eating, said he had eventually gotten up to 45 miles a week in his training, all for the single marathon. He told his fellow runners that he would not run another one. • It would mean moving back across the country and changing parties, but Richard Morefield, a former hostage in Iran, says he might do just that to run for Congress. Morefield, who was consul general in Iran at the time of the takeover of the American Embassy, moved from his native San Diego to Annandale, Va., a few months ago so he could attend a special foreign service “executive seminar.” Now Republican officials in California have been urging the 52-year-old Democrat to switch parties and run for Congress in a newly created district in San Diego. On Friday Morefield said he was considering the offer. He said he did not want to run as “a former hostage,” but acknowledged that his celebrity would probably figure in the campaign. “History seems to show,” he said, that celebrities who have been successful candidates “have been so because they were good candidates.” • ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Fransie Geringer, the 8-year-old South African boy afflicted with a rare aging disease, arrived here for a two-week tour of central Florida, including a stop at Disney World in Orlando. Fransie’s Florida visit, which began Monday, was made possible by $26,000 raised in the state by various individuals and organizations. The Sunshine City Jaycees alone gathered $17,000.
celebrating his fourth birthday on the lap of Bing Crosby, who was then an emcee in his father’s show. Crosby had ordered the youngster a chocolate cake and crooned “Happy Birthday.” When he was 17, Cocks headed for New York and Broadway where during the next 25 years he acted, directed and cultivated some show business contacts of his own. He remembers honeymooning in Portland, Maine, in a beach house owned by Bette Davis. When his father’s health deteriorated, Cocks returned to Fort Wayne to help. But by then, television and shopping center cinemas had siphoned away the patrons of downtown theaters. Of the seven theaters his father once managed, only the Embassy and the Scottish Rite remain. The others were demolished to provoide more downtown parking or for urban renewal projects. Yet in Fort Wayne’s downtown heyday, Cocks remembers movie theaters as palaces, with art deco furnishings, Italian marble and crystal chandeliers. Cocks’ father inspected all his ushers, doormen and cashiers before opening his theaters. When the ushers weren’t guiding patarons to their seats, Cocks said, they stood at attention, their pillbox hats atilt. “People paid hard-earned money to see a show and people expected service,” he said. Admission was 25 cents for adults and a dime for children. Besides movies, Fort Wayne’s downtown theaters also show-cased the big bands of Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, dancers, animal acts, comics, chorus lines, magicians and female singing trios.
Supermarket Shopper
Readers offer their favorite coupon-rebate tips
By MARTIN SLOANE Here are some excellent couponing and refunding tips that readers have recently sent me: Joy Osterland of Marine City, Mich., uses the seam ripper from her sewing basket to cut the labels from all kinds of cans. “A quick ‘zip’ with my seam ripper is all it takes,” she says. Patricia Jewells of Tamaqua, Pa., saves time at the supermarket by having one of her teenagers use a separate shopping cart to pick up all the items for which she has coupons. “THIS ALLOWS ME TO spend more time selecting my meat and produce,” she explains. “And it makes checking out easier since all the coupon items are in a separate shopping cart. “ Moving your couponing and refunding from the kitchen table to a desk with lots of drawers has its advantages. “My husband used to say that my refunding had taken over the whole house,” says Susan Manderfeld of Naperville, 111. “But recently I found an old desk in which I now have filed my coupons, my proofs of purchase and all the refunding materials I use. “THERE IS SOMETHING very pleasing and businesslike about working at a desk. I find that I’m handling my coupons and refunds more efficiently. I strongly recommend it over working at the kitchen table.” Did you ever think of using a checkbook cover as a coupon wallet? Florence Stanley of Poway, Calif., says that it works just fine. Penny McDonald of Washington, D.C., uses a travelers’ check wallet for her coupons. JoAnne Crosswell of North Miami Beach, Fla., keeps her large inventory of coupons in a 12-pocket shoe organizer that hangs behind the kitchen door. CRAIG OLSON OF MOORHEAD, Minn., saw 100 name-and-address labels advertised for $1.25. But instead of having his name and address printed on them, he ordered this message: “Please save this: Label, box top-bottom, UPC code, net-weight stmt., ingred. stmt., POP seal, the whole thing. Thanks, Craig.” “My wife and I circle the proof we need and put these labels on the boxes, bottles and cans in our kitchen closet,” he explains. “We also use them at my sister’s home, at my parents’ and in-laws’ and in the kitchens of some very understanding and cooperative friends.”

When the jack fails to drop, declarer plays the K-x of hearts from dummy and finesses the jack to go down one.

True, if declarer had extrasensory perception, he would not take the heart finesse. He would cash the AK, nabbing the queen, and in that way make the contract. Yet, correctly played, South should make four spades even if he does not have the advantage of seeing around corners. After three rounds of clubs and spades have been played, he should deliberately lead his last trump, discarding a heart from dummy. When he then plays the A-K-Q of diamonds, West showing out on the third round, this becomes the position: North <?KB West 010 East <?Q3 <?109 ♦ 10 OJ South A J 5 Declarer plays dummy’s king of hearts and then the eight. East produces the 10-9 on these tricks and South, who has the A-J of hearts left, faces the fatal decision. Actually, this is not a difficult decision to make. Since East’s remaining card at this point is known to be the jack of diamonds, it cannot, be the queen of hearts. South therefore goes up with the ace, catches the queen, and thus makes four spades.
