The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation "arid had jeopardized his right to play for the title.

The statement demanded that Fischer be punished. However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punishment. "What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the corner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not cpmment on the Soviet statement. With the contribution from the London banker, James D.

Slater, the winner is to get $156,250 and the loser $93,750. In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights. PARKINSON'S DISEASE Dear Dr. Will you give some advice about Parkinson's disease? I'm sure an uncle of. ours has it, but-nolhing is being done about it.

But remember that although it is very effective in many patients, not everyone responds to It. It must be taken only under a doctor's supervision because it requires careful monitoring against side reactions. Also, there are other effective drugs that are used in conjunction with L-Dopa, and there is other treatment such as special exercises and physical therapy. People ask why the disease Is called Parkinson's-vSimply because it is named for a Dr. James Parkinson who first described it more than 150 years ago 1817).

For years we were not able to do much for these patients. We have known that it is in some way tied in with trouble in the basal ganglia of the brain.

And stilfcpthers are called "Idiopathic" which means there is no apparent cause we can Whatever the reason, Parkinson's which may be seen at any age it is seen as early as the 20s and as late as the 80s most often begins between the 40s and 50s. Here is a businessman of 55 whojioticed a slight Tremor first in his right arm and later in his left at the age of 45: His face began to become immobile.

However, Mrs. if it is actually true that your uncle has beginning Parkinson's, you can understand why it is so important to start treatment early whether it is medical or surgical (usually the former).
