He was born in Buenos Aires. He left school at 16 to become a reporter for a small London news agency and in the years ensuing has written articles, plays and several non-fiction books. His latest will be published in this country by G.

P. Putnams Sons on March 1. $8.95. It is called Those Damned Rebels. It is a brilliant re-creation of the American revolution from the British point of view, exclusively, and it gives a strikingly different picture of the birth of our nation.

None of his interpretation is re-creation without foundation. Carefully researched from first-hand Journals (and in those days people were prolific journalists and letter writers) documents and reports from governors in the field, some startling new light is thrown upon events and attitudes held at that time. Perhaps the most interesting is Pearsons appraisal of the characters involved. Traditionally we have always been presented with the concept that King George III was a surly, unreasonable tyrant In the beginnings of the contretempts he was not. In fact it was he who sometimes held his councillors on short rein when they would have taken drastic action.

True enough, it was not because of compassion but rather because tie events so important in our lexicon such as the Boston Tea Party, Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill etc. were regarded as mere harrassment and simply were not taken seriously.

Physical conditioners caution, warm up those -lazy muscles before launching into more serious contouring routines." One tee-off drill thats also fun to do is the "swing Stand erect, contract abdomen, and balance right hand on a chair back or stool. Then swing the left leg back and forth. Inhale through the nose as you bring leg forward; exhale through the mouth as you push limb back. As you become limber, try to kick higher. Practice 10 repetitions with each leg.

Once the body is warmed gymnasts start the more advanced exercises. Heres one they recommend for trimming the thighs. Lie down, knees bent, feet flat on floor. Gently hips off the floor, and slowly raise right leg, point toe. Gradually swing elevated leg as far back as possible without straining.

This is performed by pros, so check it, and all exercises, with your physician. You may find it easier to brace hands on hips as a support when raising lower torso and leg. Alternate limbs. Rehearse times. The prancing pony routine is a dandy leg-shaper.

Dancers frequently use it to keep firm and trim. It begins with erect posture and raising right knee.

To no ones surprise, Bobby Fischer heads the list, but his rating is an astounding 2825 points. A few players who try hard bring up the rear of the list with about 500 points. The rest of us, Grandmaster or Grand-patzer, are somewhere between these extremes.

The lowest classification on this scale is Class below 1200 points. Then there are divisions every 200 points: (1200-1399), (1400-1599), (1600-1799), and A (1800-1999). Above Class A are Experts and 3 classes of Masters. Naturally, there are fewer and fewer players on each step toward the top. In general, if players are separated by 200 points on this list, i.

e. by about a class, the higher rated player should win about 3 games out of 4 from the lower. Opponents within 100 points of each other are pretty well matched.

Even bettery, try it from both sides. wwm Western Maine, especially the Portland area, has several players of this caliber.

These excellent ratings locally, however, are puny next to Fischers incredible 2825, which indicates that he could toy with us as we could with a raw beginner. In the history of chess, only three other 1 a rs, all World Champions, have ever reached even 2700 points. Emmanuel Lasker, Capablanca, and Bot-vinnik all peaked at about 2730, which means Fischers current performance is about half a class better than their best! White solution: I. K-Q6, K-N4; 2.

I know a very dear little old lady. Her children live out of the state so I telephone her daily to chat with her. She is very alert, well-informed and has a wonderful sense of humor at 86.

Several days ago I called and one of her daughters answered the telephone. After the usual how are yous, etc. she said, I suppose youd like to talk to Mother, whereupon I replied, Yes. if shes not busy. Then she apparently placed her hand over the telephone, but I heard her say, Mom, its your gabby friend.

Ill give you 5 minutes, then Ill ring the doorbell and you say we have to go. I managed to be pleasant, but I felt very foolish not to have been suspicious of that doorbell routine. It had occurred each time this daughter was in town.

Astro Cast By Sydney Omarr DEAR READERS: Over the years one of the most frustrating aspects of being Dear has been my inability to provide solutions for some problems.

I refer to letters from individuals and organizations urging me to ask my readers to write to Hanoi, asking that our prisoners of war be released, or humanely treated, or allowed to communicate with their families, or that a 'list be published so that the families will know whether their servicemen is alive or dead. My dear readers, you are appealing to the wrong person.

You should be appealing to your congressmen, senators, and president, urging them to bring an end to this senseless war in Vietnam. If OUR country were being bombed, would agree to release the enemies war prisoners? ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I have a sweet motherless 14-year-old niece who comes to me with her problems.

Feb. 11, Solved UNBOTTLED: (Q.) Some-times I just cant keep it all bottled up inside me. The other night my husband went out with some men friends for a fgw drinks and got home at 3:30 a.m. I was worried, and also mad. I told him I didnt think it was considerate of him to be out so late without letting me know.

My idea of a good husband is one that would be able to tell when some-' thing is bothering his wife and offer to sit down and talk about it. Someone that would be a little romantic once in a while and surprise his wife with something. Nothing ex-, pensive. A wild flower would 14-- I always have to say, Lets do this or Take me there tor Lets go out to dinner to-night. When I ask he takes But it would mean so much more if he would say, Im taking you out to dinner tonight.

Not long ago we went to the beach with another couple and grilled a steak. I arranged it. The other couple went for walk along the shore after ate. I had to ask him if he would walk with me. He did, but having to ask him took all the romance out of it.

Wc love each other and our sex life is fine. But I dont think thats enough. A wife needs to feel needed, wanted. I believe he could do nicely without me. I am unhappy and because of it I have eaten too much and am gaining weight.

I also yell at our daughter. I should- nt take it out on her. She is three and the most marvelous thing that ever happened to us. My husband earns good mon- ey, handles it well, cares nothing about other women, loves our daughter, and Im pretty sure he loves me too. We have a good home and no real worries.

Should I count my blessings and forget about having an exciting marriage? 30 and married State. (A.) Yes and no. Count your blessings, yes. But do not give up trying to increase them. You have a good marriage.

Your husband will probably never be a wild romantic. But you may be able to nudge him more and more into being thoughtful of you. You would be more successful if you would do your nudging when you and he both are in relatively good spirits. Try to find or arrange times when you and he can talk quietly and calmly about yourselves and your thoughts. Ho not wait until you are down to do this.

Do it while you feel good, and you wont get down so easily. There are millions of wives with husbands like yours, but far fewer with the insight and imagination you have. Whatever, happens, never let that inner light of yours be taken away by anger or disappointments. ROUGn DEAL: (Q.) When I got, a divorce a year ago, I asked my mother, who is also divorced, to take care of my daughter. I told her if she would quit her job and keep the little girl, I would get a job.

We did this and my daughter and I moved in with her. At first it seemed fine. But she complains more and more. No matter where I go, I shouldnt. She thinks I should just work and come home and do nothing else.

She doesnt ivant me to go out and she doesnt want me to have friends in. What can I do? What should I do? 4 (A.) The deal you arranged seldom works. Tell your mother you are sorry but she has to have her life and you have to have yours. Find an apartment. Enroll your daughter in a nursery school or day care center.

Your mother can in HUSBAND HUNT; (Q.) Please tell me whether dating services, marriage brokers and computer matching are reliable, I am sending you a list of agencies and need your advice on which is bCst. I simply have to try one of these places. I am 30 and have tried everything else. I have never had a boy friend. I have to find one and get married.

Dont tell me to try social activities. I have. Cant Wait Any Longer in Ohio. (A.) I am not listing the names of the agencies you sent. I am not an expert on them or on mate-matching organizations in general so I cannot and do not recommend any of them by name.

Those you list are all outside your city. Maybe there is one there about which you could get local information or recommendations. You say you have tried social activities but do not mention church. If you have not tried at your church or if you do not have a church, I strongly urge you to consider that possibility. There is also the very sensible possibility of not having to get married now or at any specific date in the future until and unless you find someone you can love and who can love you.

If you read me regularly you know that I am strong on love. I believe that, even at 30 or 40 or 50 or later, it can be born and that it can be nutured and Dont forget love.
