House Call Gallstone diagnosis requires no x-ray
By G. Timothy Johnson, M.D. Question: Would you please tell me about the new method of diagnosing gallstones that does not require x-rays? Answer: For years, the standard method of diagnosing gallstones has been the socalled oral cholecystogram, which involves swallowing dye tablets the night before an x-ray examination. If stones are present in the gallbladder, the dye surrounds the stones and highlights them in the picture. In order for the test to work, the individual must take the pills as directed - and the body’s digestive system must work well enough to absorb the dye and outline the gallbladder. The test involves a certain amount of radiation and discomfort to the patient. In recent years, therefore, there has been increasing use of ultrasound as the primary

method of diagnosing gallstones. The advantages of ultrasound are the absence of radiation and a decrease in patient discomfort. The ultrasound exam is very simple and usually very effective in demonstrating the presence of gallstones. The oral cholecystogram is still widely used since it is effective in most cases. However, many hospitals now use ultrasound as the initial method of diagnosis. I expect we will see a shift from cholecystograms (X-rays) to ultrasound in the coming years.

win this trick. If you do, the contract is in the bag. Let’s say East continues with a trump, which you win with the ace. (If he plays anything else, you can take it and play the ace of trumps to establish more or less the same position.) You cash the ace of clubs, play a diamond to the queen, ruff a club, play a diamond to the king, ruff a club, then play a diamond to the ace and ruff dummy’s last club. By this time, nine tricks have been played and you’ve won eight of them, namely the ace of spades, ace of clubs, A-K-Q of diamonds and three club ruffs. When you next lead the jack of diamonds, you assure yourself of ten tricks, whether or not East ruffs. You are bound to make a heart and a diamond, or a heart and dummy’s last trump. Note that the outcome would be exactly the same if East’s distribution were different and he ruffed any one of the earlier diamond leads. You would still come to ten tricks in that case.
People in the news Watergate's Hunt seeking pardon He served his time, he testified against his fellow conspirators, and now E. Howard Hunt Jr. wants a presidential pardon for his part in the 1972 Watergate burglary and cover-up. The 63-year-old Hunt, a former White House consultant who spent 32 months in prison after pleading guilty to six counts of burglary, conspiracy and illegal wiretapping, is the second major Watergate figure to seek such a pardon. Last month it was disclosed that Jeb Stuart Magruder had also applied for one. Magruder, a one-time White House aide who became an official in the 1972 Nixon reelection campaign, was imprisoned for seven months after pleading guilty to conspiracy in the Watergate cover-up. David C. Stephenson, the Justice Department’s acting pardon attorney, said Monday that Hunt had filed his application last October and that it could take more than a year to process, including a full background check by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He said that decisions on pardon applications were based on such factors as the nature of the offense, whether the applicant had had “a responsible existence” since conviction and how long it had been since release from prison. Hunt, a Miami resident who recently published his 57th book, said he would have no comment on his pardon application. NEW YORK (AP) Television news anchors would rather read or listen to music than watch the tube in their spare time, but they view enough to say that Jessica Savitch and Dan Rather are the sexiest network broadcasters, a new survey says. The survey, prepared as part of a promotional program for the Scotch Whisky Information Center, was released Monday and questioned 100 anchors at 85 television stations in 24 metropolitan areas. Rather anchors the “CBS Evening News” and Miss Savitch is a weekend anchor for “NBC Nightly News.” • A week after her birth, the first baby in the United States to have been conceived outside the mother’s body was taken home to Massachusetts Monday. The infant, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, and her parents, Judith and Roger Carr, flew from Norfolk, Va., where Elizabeth was born Dec. 28 at the Norfolk General Hospital, to Boston en route to their home in Westminster. The Carrs’ identity was not disclosed during Mrs. Carr’s pregnancy, but the couple happily allowed their names to be be used after Elizabeth’s birth by Caesarean section, saying that “we wanted to inform the 600,000 people that are in the same circumstance that there is still hope and not to give up.” Mrs. Carr said that once Elizabeth was settled at home, she did not think she would be plagued by publicity all her life. “I think this is going to be fairly routine in the future,” she said. “I think we’ll be just one of a crowd.” The Carrs resorted to the in vitro method of conception because Mrs. Carr’s fallopian tubes had been removed. • He would not go so far as to say he felt like a latterday Scrooge, but Anthony Ciufo did allow Monday that he could not help “feeling a little sad” about the task he was performing. It was Ciufo’s solemn duty to oversee removal of this year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, a 70-foot Vermont white spruce that arrived in New York last Nov. 20. Ciufo said it had become “a tradition” over 20 years for him, as a supervisor for a landscaping company in Green Brook, N.J., to have a hand in getting rid of the Rockefeller Center tree. Monday’s six-hour ritual took place in a cold rain. The three-ton tree was lowered by a crane, and then some 10,000 blue, green, red and gold lights were gingerly removed from the branches. The branches were sawed from the trunk, which was cut into short lengths for hauling to New Jersey, where the logs and branches were to be chopped into mulch. Ciufo said the mulch made an excellent ground cover, and would be given to a troop of handicapped Boy Scouts for a merit badge project.
Reynolds leaves comedy behind
By 808 THOMAS Associated Press Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) from ‘Smokey,’” Burt Reynolds explained about his new movie. “I had been doing a lot of comedy in recent years, and people had forgotten about ‘Deliverance.’” Reynolds hadn’t forgotten. “Deliverance,” the haunting 1973 film about violence on a southern river, remains a career milestone in his mind, so much so that his company is called Deliverance Productions. Reynolds has played so many good ol’ boys in recent years that filmgoers may be shocked to see him as a crook-hating cop in “Sharkey’s Machine.” The Orion-Warner Brothers film is getting wide release during the holiday season, and Reynolds has more than his usual interest in its success. He also directed “Sharkey’s Machine.” He talked about the movie between scenes with Dolly Parton in “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” He recalled with a grin: “When Clint (Eastwood) was going to do ‘Every Which Way but Loose,’ he sent me the script for advice, since he hadn’t done a comedy. I gave him some tips but I told him, ‘Now that you’re getting into my territory, I’m gonna do ‘Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta.’” Reynolds found just that in a novel by former Atlanta newsman William Diehl about an over-zealous detective demoted to the vice squad who uncovers underworld corruption reaching to high political office. “Sidney Sheldon sent me the novel, and I found it highly cinematic, said Reynolds. “I liked the idea of working in Atlanta, where I have spent a lot of time. I made ‘Deliverance,’ ‘Smokey,’ ‘The Longest Yard’ and ‘Gator,’ my first film as a director, all in Georgia.” The first actor cast was Brian Keith, who said, “I’ll make any picture with you.” Said Reynolds: “He was the key; after that it was easy to get actors.” They were mostly those who had worked with Burt before: Charles Durning, Earl Holliman, Bernie Casey, Henry Silva, plus

WALTER MATTHAU: Star is bom
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Actor Walter Matthau and comedian Norm Crosby will get their wish upon a star this year, according to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Matthau will receive a star on the “Walk of Fame” next to Jack Lemmon’s. Crosby’s will go between Red Skelton’s and Jack Benny’s. Chamber publicist Therese Wells said it’s not unusual for celebrities to pick the spot they want for the sidewalk stars along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, and the chamber tries to cooperate when possible. “We’ll be putting Walter Matthau in next to Jack Lemmon” on March 10 in the 6300 block of Hollywood Boulevard, she said. Lemmon and Matthau have co-starred in such films as “The Fortune Cookie,” “The Odd Couple” and the just-released “Buddy, Buddy.” • LOS ANGELES (AP) Joe Hamilton, comedian Carol Burnett’s husband, is recovering from a “moderate” heart attack suffered at his son’s wedding last week and “the prognosis is good,” a spokesman says. Hamilton, a television producer, was stricken Thursday at the wedding of his son by a previous marriage, John, to Marion McCarter, said Miss Burnett’s publicist, Rick Ingersoll. Miss Burnett postponed a scheduled Jan. 8 weeklong guest appearance on ABC’s daytime soap opera “All My Children,” Ingersoll said. • HOLLYWOOD (AP) Producer Norman Lear and his partner Jerry Perencho have closed a deal to buy Avco Embassy Pictures, reportedly for about $25 million. Perencho and Lear, creator of TV series such as “All in the Family,” “Maude” and “Diff’rent Strokes,” are partners in TAT Communications. TAT Communications spokeswoman Barbara Brogliatti said Monday the price of the movie company was not officially disclosed but the $25 million figure “seems to be the one most often mentioned” in industry publications. Mrs. Brogliatti said Lear was devoting his time to producing a special called “I Love Liberty,” set to be telecast on the 250th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday Feb. 22. • Publishing a literary magazine is certainly not a novel idea, as Janet Byrne soon found out. So Miss Byrne, a freelance editor from Hoboken, N.J., decided to take a different approach. She asked such authors as Allen Ginsberg, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Norman Mailer and Gay Talese to use their pens to draw, rather than write. “What I found was that people need a release from the field in which they have been so schooled to another discipline that they are not as schooled in.” She has recently published a magazine, entitled Mediums, that contains the art work of 12 authors. One of her favorite replies to her query to authors came from Joyce Carol Oates, who said: “How lovely, how blissful, to know oneself an absolute amateur at drawing.”

BURT REYNOLDS: Money-maker
Vittorio Gassman as the ringleader of the narcoticsprostitution organization. “Sharkey’s Machine" starts out with a slam-bang shootout-chase and ends with one, with several in between. Reynolds has no patience with those who decry film violence: ‘When critics see it in ‘The Deer Hunter,’ they say it’s brilliant and ‘authentic.’ When they see it in pictures with me or Clint, they say it’s ‘unnecessary.’ “In my picture the good guys win and the bad guys, the dopers, lose. That’s important to me: I don’t like dopers. I get mad as hell when I hear that studios are coddling actors who are always high on cocaine.”
