Ann Landers Fitness widow car Ann Landers: A woman i wrote that her jogging, 1 workout-nut husband was so wrapped up in himself and his body, he didn't have time for the kids or her. She wondered if she should leave the egomaniac. 1 thought you'd be deluged with letters, but I don't recall a single one. I resolved the same problem years qgo, but the resentment lingers. All the lonely hours came together and firmed one huge lump in my throat.

When I realized this was all there was going to be, I asked myself the famous Ann Landers questions: "Would I be Better of with him or without him?" Coward that I was (and an insecure Catholic besides), 1 opted for "with nim." I It's been a sad life, but the choice i I 4 Joe Williams opens in the Venetian Room Stage 'Will Rogers' U.S.A. starring James Whitmore, previews at ACT's Geary Theater, Tuesday was mine. To observers, ours appears to be a solid marriage that produced six children, but my heart knows the truth and it hurts. I've come to the conclusion hat too often the wrong people get together to start with. 1 can tell that lady from experience, it's not much fun living with someone who's in love with himself.

Been There in Buffalo Dear B.T.: It may be small consolation, my dear, but at least it's his own body he's preoccupied with and not someone else's. Perhaps you bummed out from the beginning, made a poor choice, but you stayed with it and had six children. So make the best of it. Swallow the lump in your throat and concentrate on ways to extract some satisfaction and even joy out of life. Vou don't say how old your children are, but if they are adolescents or younger, they need time and attention.

If Dad is preoccupied pounding the pavement and pumping iron, they aren't getting much from him. I hate to sound like a broken record, but this country is pathetically short of volunteers. (Nobody wants to do anything without pay anymore, and it's a pity.) Contact the Red Cross, Salvation Army, your church, hospitals, homes for the aged, Lighthouse for the Blind, the veteran's hospital.

Both Beta and VHS have enough hold on the marketplace to survive.

If consumers show any horse-sense at all, they will pick either Beta or VHS, and leave the 8mm video entrepreneurs out in the cold, destined for the graveyard of unnecessary video formats that's where RCA's CED now has a place of honor and that's where 8mm video also belongs. Videotapes and discs. No matter what the format, it is adult programming that determines its success in the marketplace. No video format has made it without a hefty helping from the X-rated adult entertainment industry. Two of the biggest publishers of adult entertyainment Playboy and Hustler magazines are now going head-to-head in the home video prerecorded tape cassette market.

Those familiar with their magazines know what to expect in the home video versions. Playboy, available from respectable CBS-Fox Home Video, has already issued four volumes of "Playboy Video Collector's Edition," a special "Playmate Review" and "Playboy Workout" in all tape and disc formats. Now, here comes Hustler with "Hustler Come Alive, Volumes One and Two" (Beta and VHS) distributed by a producer of X-rated video, Exxes Video Inc.

Dear Ann Landers: Recently you printed a letter from a man in Tennessee. The writer called his out-of-wedlock grandchild "a little bastard." You labeled the grandfather "leading contender for the Garbage Mouth of the Year Award." My trusty Webster's Dictionary defines a bastard as "an illegitimate child," and that's what the trampy grand-daughter brought home. So next time, get the facts straight before you call someone a garbage mouth.

Marie in N.Y. Dear Marie: According to the three dictionaries I consulted, a bastard is indeed an out-of-wedlock child. But the common usage takes on clearly pejorative overtones: "obnoxious," "spurious," "debased" and "of inferior quality." Furthermore, I am sure you have heard the word used as a synonym for a no-goodnik, a person of low character, a scoundrel. I don't know if the granddaughter was a tramp. I do know she had a child out of wedlock.

The man who wrote was direct ing his anger at the innocent child. While the word "bastard" was technically correct, it was used in an Insulting and degrading manner. In my book the man is still a garbage mouth. water polo games today!" way the wind blows Joe Saltzman The new format THERE IS no reason whatsoever for the new third videocassette format 8mm video. It's bad enough having two incompatible tape formats on the market Beta and VHS.

But the new boys on the video block, principally the film giant Kodak, wanted to play with their own ball, and so this useless third format was created. All it will do is to add to the stupid duplication of hardware and software. To add insult to injury, the 8mm format is vastly inferior to the VHS format, which is inferior to the Beta format That kind of logic hasn't hit the consumer yet. Seventy percent are buying the inferior VHS, leaving the superior Beta format behind. What is the future for Kodak's 8mm video? Kodak should have its new camera out by August.

Polaroid plans one later this year. Karl Video has announced it will market the first prerecorded 8mm tapes (its catalog includes the Jane Fonda workout tapes). And 8mm got an enormous boast recently when Sony, one of the biggest guns in home video, said it would start selling 8mm hardware by mid-1985. By the end of the year, 20 percent of the American people will have bought VCR machines. It will be the I Mail Order Express: the pace.

It is a dirty old man's, vision of adult entertainment Nothing is left to anyone's imagination. Both Playboy and Hustler videos, are filled with sophomoric ftumor and pretentious, often silly interviews.
