B14 SUNDAY, APRILS, 1990 OC LOS ANGELES TIMES By JACK PETERS INTERNATIONAL MASTER CHESS "WOW! DISPOSABLE INCOME. A publisher called me. soliciting ads for his Beverly Hills paper, After my conversation with him, I assumed that Beverly Hills people have so much disposable income, they have to find innovative ways to spend it, or the City will have to collect it in big trash bags and take it to the City dump. If I started catering to that Rodeo Dr. shopper, I'd have to change my whole merchandising image.

Customers would have to phone for appointments just to buy! I'd have to put a helicopter pad on the roof for the jet set have valet parking hostesses serving cocktails to shoppers and other perks catering to snob appeal. I couldn't be comfortable with that kind of stuff. I'm just a meat and potatos kind of guy, dedicated to giving you more bang for your buck than you'll get anywhere else. holds.

6 NATIONAL NEWS The U.S. Chess Federation (USCFJ, which conducts a variety of national championships, is considering a change in the format of the annual U.S. Women's Championship. To save money, the USCF may switch from the traditional 10- or 12-player round robin to a double round-robin event with only the defending champion and three high-rated rivals. The 1989 champion, Alexey Root, is circulating a petition to oppose the change.
