The strange and tragic aspect of the story is that Marilyn Monroe never really believed she was Marilyn Monroe. THE BRITISH sex-and-politics story has hogged the headlines. But sex you may be stunned to learn is also popular in other countries.

SHE WAS CARVED out of moonlight. And her glowing charms are displayed in the "Marilyn" movie. But that was her public' personality.

Privately she was a little girl lost in the dark. She was once driving and noticed her name autographing a marquee. She drove up close and said to herself: "God, somebody's made a mistake." In recalling the incident she mused: "There it was in lights. I sat there and I just couldn't believe it. It was all very strange to me.

I got the idea that I must be a star, or something." RERT BACnARACn White people who feel that the new emphasis on civil rights is giving Negroes an unfair advantage should consider what discrimination costs them in welfare payments, crime and other categories, Governor Matthew E.

"My government and state say I no longer have a right to live in the type of neighborhood I choose (which happens to be white)," he wrote. "My government and state says I no longer can send my children to an all-white school.

We must integrate." Now it is proposed to require integration in all service businesses, including his beauty shop, Martakis stated. "If this isn't taking my rights away as a citizen, then what is it?" he asked. He said some politicians who preach integration live in well-segregated neighborhoods and send their children to private schools.

Here is a spirited letter which I think you will enjoy, whether you agree in principle or not: DEAR Dr. Steincrohn: Why can't you leave us folks who are fat and healthy alone? I am 5 feet, 7.W The man you said would answer "rubbish" when his wife reproved him for asking for a second helping is a man after my own heart.

I'm against your telling wives to nag husbands, although my wife died at 56 of a heart attack while weighing 60 pounds less than I did. She used to be after me all the time to take off weight. Fat people used to be able to laugh and be happy but now if they laugh they have an inferiority complex. I don't worry whether the end of my time is 20 years from now or tomorrow. J.A.

DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: My doctor is treating me for a condition which he calls porphyria. He says that not much is known about it. Just what is it? Mrs. M.

COMMENT: Porphyria is a disturbance in metabolism of certain chemicals in the body called porphyrins. It may cause skin eruptions, abdominal colic, dark urine and disturbances in the nervous system. As your doctor says, we don't know much about it. I have been reading that a drug (AMP), when injected into the muscle, sometimes helps. If your doctor is interested in looking into this therapy, he can find the original article in the British Medical Journal.

An Indianapolis man was one of two Fort Campbell (Ky.) soldiers killed Sunday when their car hit a tree about seven miles south of Clarksville on U.S.

10 inches tall. When I was 28 years old and most of the time before then, I weighed about 145-150. At 28 I started wrestling and putting on weight. Now I am 65 and weigh about 200 pounds, which has been around my standard weight for some 25 years. I quit wrestling after 40.

The point is that from the time I was 12 until I was 28 I never really felt good. If I ever felt better in my life than I do now I do not know when it was. Of course, I know I may drop dead any time of heart trouble but so may many skinny guys you know. I eat anything I want, all I want and like practically every kind of food.
