There is enough in this one article for several seminars Of course there are pitfalls The wise wife might do well to pass lightly over Shirali's plug for continence after all even its staun-chest advocates would hardly advise postponing the start of romantic pursuits until age 65 If husband is still a little liv-' erish from the previous night's cocktail party it might be well to pass up the obvious commercial that it sure seems to pay off in longevity to be "never gluttonous for the delights of food and flesh" However it might not hurt to go once over lightly the facts that Shirali eats sparingly mostly vegetables and fruit abstains from tobacco and rarely worries If husband has a predilection to get his nose in the muscatel jug- wife might do well to omit the fact that Shirali drinks wine PARADE'S "Intelligence Report" is always good for an interesting topic or two to be relayed over the breakfast table There is a report from Britain that men are taking jobs from women secretaries at a great rate Says Christine Pearce of the Manpower Agency of London: "Men secretaries are fantastic much better than women" Says another agency: "Men arc taking over from women in many fields only because they are so much better than women" There is a statement which should provoke a comment or two from a husband who tends to the male chauvinist sexist way of things NEXT "Intelligence Report" gives an interesting quote by Barry Goldwater: "It's a strange thing about conservatives They are the most anti-Communist group in America and yet they practice the same thing for which they criticize the Communists namely if you don't agree with them 100 per cent then you're wrong" This might provide an opening for a remark that unfortunately this particular failing is not confined to conservatives and Communists And just for good measure "Intelligence signs off with an interesting item about a University of Missouri researcher who says the common or farm variety really like to- lap up the booze You name it from Bloody Marys to beer the swine will swill it They get drunk stumble and burp and suffer hangovers liver damage and withdrawal symptoms just like humans "Also like many humans" the report continues "the pigs who -normally are very active sexually lose interest in the opposite sexwhcn inebriated and lie-lethargically in their pens" Now there is a topic which could keep the conversation going until it is time to go to work Monday So spouses'1 if you wish to talk to your mates but don't know what to talk about your source material is as close as your Sunday Bee Read and start talking fi GENERAL AUDIENCES All 9i Admitted PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED Soma Material May Not Be Suitable for Pn- Ttsiuaars 3 SESKMS RESTRICTED Under 17 requirtt aeompnyina Parent or Adult Guardian NO ONE UNOER 17 ADMITTED (As limit may vary in cartain areas) looked at me and said 'For Pete's sake what are you talking THE LADY has a point But so does the psychiatrist in advising spouses to communicate with their mates The trick may be in choosing topics for conversation and preferably keeping them on the light side An excellent and easily available source of such material is Parade magazine which comes in the Sunday morning Bee The wife who wishes to make pleasant chatter with hubby over the Sunday bacon and eggs might be well advised to peruse Parade for likely topics The "My Favorite Jokes" section by well known comedians should be good for openers read him a couple of the best The cover feature story might be about a man the Russians claim is 167 years old Shirali Mislimov lives in the republic of Azerbaijan and says he was born May 19 1805 one year after Napoleon I became emperor of France The story is a veritable treasure trove of conversational topics Old Shirali still rides horseback has worked for 150 years never been sick a day in his life The Russians say this is no big deal because in their republics of Azerbaijan and Abkhasia about one out of every 300 persons is at least 100 years of age What has Shirali to say? The story says he "attributes his longevity to long-lived parents his delayed sex life he was not married until he was 65 and to an active and serene life tana "And then there was Tulsa when the Ku Klux Klan tried to arrest the whole company You heard about that?" The Ku Klux Klan? "Yes there were these four men who got up on stage at the end of Act I right after the kids take their clothes off They didn't have sheets on but they were the Klan all right They had alerted the media One of them was the grand dragon They grabbed a microphone and announced that the entire cast was under arrest Citizen's arrest And the show was over and the audience could go home Would Not Go "Well the audience was not about to go home They put up a racket I was in my office nearby and I heard it So did the manager of the auditorium a city employe We ran out together "It was a shock to me We had talked in advance to the chief of police the city attorney and other officials Everything was okay So the first thing I ran out front to see if these men had brought any police Somebody said there was one police car but it left "Meanwhile the house manager was calling the chief of police and the city attorney I went up onstage to talk to these men I told them who I was They said I was under arrest too Everybody was under arrest They yere going to lake us down to the jail So I asked them if the police were going to take us They looked around and there weren't any police So then I said shouldn't they talk first to the house manager a city employe? They said ok quite docile and we went to the manager's office rigid uptight people in this country" he said "They're frightened of change They're angry at anything that questions their values If you live in New York like I do you see people like yourself and they're all liberal and tolerant and so are the people you meet in the other big cities San Francisco Chicago Seattle But there's an awful lot of people out across this country who aren't like that It's a lesson" Evangelist's Attitude In his quiet way Grayson has a kind of evangelist's attitude about "Hair" He regards it as a force for good It is not merely that the producers have spent so far $750000 in attorneys' fees fighting censorship in the courts and winning milestone decisions establishing the theater as an area of free speech It is also what "Hair" can do for the people who go to see it even the very uptight ones "I'm a pretty rigid fellow myself" he said "After all I'm of an older generation I served in World War II I'm neat I put my trash in the garbage can I have to That's how I was raised "But when I first saw this show in the first version downtown in Joe Papp's Public Theater it really did something for me I felt for the first time I understood the feeling of the kids what they were protesting about what they wanted "Well some of the edge is off the protest now thanks in part to 'Hair' You can look on the show more as entertainment One thing that will keep it going forever is all those wonderful tunes But there's still a war going on And some parents are still alienated from their children The show still has a lot to say If 'Hair' just makes people question their Monday Nile Sunday Crossword Puzzle Is Family Night Solution is on page D20 AM Sets First Talk Oct 19 ah TOU Can 4 to 0 Eat 9P'M
