LETTERS TO THE  EDITOR
A* of right now there are an
estimated tour hundred American prisoners of war ln North
Viet Nam. W* can only .guess at
this number b*caus« the North
Vietnamese have refused to release the names of those they
are holding. Th* few American
. prisoners who have returned have
claimed that treatment of POW's
ln North Viet Nam is in direct
violation of the Geneva Convention of 1957 (which called for
humane treatment of POW's) de
spite the fact that North Viet Nam
endorsed the treaty.

A little something stupid for a friend
By Michael Fradln
The other day, a friend of mine
called me on the phone and mentioned that he had read my last
commentary. He thought It was a
bit too serious, and suggested that
I write about something stupid.
I said, 'What do you mean by
stupid?"
He said, *You know what I
mean, ridiculous, Insipid, dumb.*
So, I'm going to take his suggestion and write about that popular book and motion picture,
•Love Story.*
■Love Story* Is described as
being s; tender story of love.
When they say •tender,* they
mean -legal tender.* Erich Se-
ffal and Paramount Pictures refuse to call it *Love Story* to
themselves; they have another
cute name for It . . . They call lt
•The Gold Mine.*
Speaking of gold,I'm sure most
of us have heard or have read
about those *get-rlch-qulck*
books that are In print. You know,
the ones with the moving titles,
such as, *How to Make a Million
In a Year,* 'Sue Your Neighbor
for Fun and Profit,* 'How to
Make a Killing ln the Stock Market," and many other books of this
nature. Save your coins! I can
give you the winning combination
line: give people a Uttle
Jie beginning and
end lt with tragedy. The public
loves this *crap.* They'll eat thla
nonsense for breakfast the rest
of their lives if they could. The
public, In general, loves to Identify their hang-ups and problems
with fictional sorrow. Ifyoudon't
believe me, Just look at some of
the famous literature greats:
•West Side Story,* "Gone With
the Wind,* "Funny Girl,* and *A
Tree Grows ln Brooklyn.* They
ail start happ-go-lucky, and end
up wasted. 'Love Story* was no
exception. Everything was going
fine until they got married. Once
they got married, the whole thing
blew up faster than a zeppelln
In a forest fire. Has lt ever occurred to you that tbe greatest
loves of history and Uterature
had one thing ln common, the boy
and girl never got married. Think
about it! Paris and Helen of Troy,
Cyrano and Roxanne, Antony and
Cleopatra, Rock Hudson and
Doris Day, Donald Duck and
Daisy. Look what happened when
Romeo and Juliet got married,
they spent one night together and
commltteed suicide the next day.
(That must have been one hell-
ofva  night!)
•Love Story* gives you more
than you bargain for. Tbey give
you touching and witty words to
Uve by. I'm talking about that
heart-warming quote that sends
shivers down your spine, 'Love
is never having to say you're
sorry.* I could see it all now,
as your lover spills hot coffee
all over your new suit, then she
comes up with that stabbing statement. 'Love Is never having to

• *Love Story* ends true to form,
like aU the movie greats do, the
girl dies and everybody's mind
Is blown. If she would have lived,
the book and the picture would
have been a bigger loser than a
stowaway on a karoakazee plane.
I hope that this Is enough hilarity
and foolishness to make my friend
happy.
In order for me to write an
effective paper, I went down to the
theater to note the reactions of
the people after seeing "Love
Story.* Most of tne mencaroeout
with a lump In their throat, and
the majority of the girls, with a
tear ln their eye. I couldn't help
but notice one couple In particular. The boy and girl walked
out, their arms tenderly car-
resslng each other's side. The
girl was gently drying her eyes
on the shoulder of the boy. Tbey
passed a newsstand on tha way to
the parking lot. The bold, black
headlines, almost three-dimensional In their form, read, •Fifty-
four Thousand Deaths In Viet
Nam.* By now, her tears were
all dried, she said, ln a carefree
voice, "GEE, that war Is so
ridiculous.'
It's ironic how one can cry
over AU MacGraw dying on the
scene for the sum of $200,000,
and not shed a tear for tbe senseless deaths In Viet Nam. •Frankly, my dear, I don't think tbey

If you've answered "No" to three
or more questions, you really
rate as an independent thinker.
Another example of your independent thinking: You use
Tampax tampons.
Why Tampax tampons? Because, when you compare them
all, only Tampax tampons give
you these advantages; Each
Tampax tampon comes in a
silken-smooth container-applicator. Both applicator and tampon
can be flushed away. No unwieldy stick or plastic tube to
dispose of.
Worn internally, Tampax tampons are completely comfortable. Cant chafe, cause odor or
