Brady's People • • Name your problem
--------------- by James Brady
On the south sIde of a street on the west sIde of Manhattan a gray awnIng proclaIms happIness
"AdVIce on all problems," the awnIng promIses, and a smaller, more dIscreet SIgn urges the troubled passerby to consult WIth Madame LIsa, "reader and adVIser "
No half SolutIons here If you have a problem, see Madame LIsa She WIll lIsten, read your palm, read the cards, perhaps even read the tea leaves or the entraIls of chIckens and WIll proffer counsel Who else not runnIng for electIve offIce offers unIversal relIef?
When AmerIcans used to be troubled In the old days, they went to the doctor, a general practItIoner accustomed to dealIng WIth everythIng from hangnaIl to appendICItIs The kIndly old fdmIly phYSICIan would take your temperature, lIsten to your heart, poke you In the rIbs, examIne your tongue, and prescrIbe aspIrIn
Today everyone IS a speCIalISt There are heart men and nose men and foot men and gall bladder men dnd men who speCIalIze In Ingrown haIrs Your average dentIst these days IS
lIttle more than a referral serVIce He looks Into your mouth and gIves you an address on the other SIde of town where someone else WIll pull your tooth or drIll your root canal
The corner gas statIon once handled everythIng from body and fender work to patchIng a slow leak There was always a handyman In the neIghborhood who could paInt your shutters and splIce a WIre, a kId who could mow the lawn and put up your screens The local lawyer would wrIte you a WIll or notarIze a lease
The only generalIst today IS Madame LIsa who WIll be delIghted to adVIse you on Just about anythIng Roger Staubach may InSIst that Rolalds spells "relIef " WhICh IS fIne If you have a gassy stomach and no comfort whatsoever If you have come down WIth earache or POlson IVy
One other thIng no warnIng from Madame LIsa that she frets and agonIzes about malpractIce SUItS
Your average lawyer or doctor or plumber today won't draw up a contract or set a broken arm or Install a washer WIthout conSIderIng the pOSSIble legal
ramIfIcatIons MalpractIce SUItS have become as commonplace as teen-aged acne A grease monkey won't charge your battery If you don't IndemnIfy hIm agaInst a laWSUIt
Not Madame LIsa She takes on all your problems and copes WIth them She demands nothIng but your money She IS lIke the "new season" In teleVISIon She IS there and you tune her In It IS up to us to deCIde, as we walk away, whether we have gotten our money's worth
I lIke somethIng else about Madame LIsa Her only advertISIng IS done on an awnIng and on the door of her storefront headquarters She doesn't buy radIO commerCIals or TV tIme or take out clever ads In the magaZInes or full pages In the newspapers She may not even, for all I know, have a lIstIng In the Yellow Pages What would she say? Under what category would she be lIsted? '~o It yourself"? Or "help wanted"?
She employs no door-to-door salesmen or telephone hucksters No bus or subway placards No endorsements by Tony Randall or by Lorne Greene and hIS pet dog None of the Gabor SIsters has testIfIed that Ma-
dame LIsa has brought them happIness There are no moneyback offers, no half-prIce coupons In the Sunday papers Whatever Madame LIsa charges, the serVIce IS the same And you deal WIth her, In person, and not WIth a factory representatIve to be named later
I don't mean to suggest that palm readers and seers can solve all our problems I don't thInk that they can But I've got to lIke thIS Idea of dIrect actIon that we haven't been In the AmerIcan marketplace In years If my Chrysler goes on the frItz, It'S hIghly unlIkely I can SIt down and talk to Lee Iacocca about It I don't even know the name of the man who runs the Frlgldalre company If my refrIgerator goes Into termInal defrost I know my congressman's name But where the hell IS he when my mall doesn't get delIvered? I have a doctor but he doesn't make house calls
Madame LIsa IS there, under her awnIng, promISIng to conSIder, not some, but "all" my problems

The enigma of acid rain: a matter worthy of investigation By JOHN CHAMBERLAIN
One of thl thIngs held agaInst Anne Burford as head of the EnVIronmental ProtectIon Agency was her statement that she wanted to talk to some chemIsts before commIttIng herself to envIronmental cures that mIght bl worse than the dIsease
There were zealots who wanted qUIck changes In the Clean AIr Act that would put MIddle Western utIlItIes out of bUSIness If they contInued to burn coal and thIS despIte the fact that thl utIlItIes have been puttIng less and less sulfur dIOXIde Into the aIr over the years under the present law
When WIllIam Ruckelshaus took over fOl the ousted Anne Burford, the zealots hoped for a qUIck legIslatIve answer to the problem of aCId raIn, WhIch the conventIonal WIsdom attrIbutes to WIndblown sulfur drIftIng over the Northeastern states and nllghborlng Canada and kIllIng the fISh In the northern lakes
But Ruckelshaus dallIed as Anne Burford had dallIed before hIm He, too, wanted to talk to chemIsts Now he has reSIgned as EPA boss The consensus In WashIngton IS that he has done a good Job In cleanIng up mana-
gerlal IrregularItIes In EPA But the extremIst observers of hIS departure may be slow to forgIve hIm for the heInous SIn of wantIng InformatIon before recommendIng congressIonal actIon
It IS a SIngular thIng that we have so many people who thInk a Congress heaVIly weIghted WIth lawyers can properly frame envIronmental bIlls WIthout waItIng for SCIentIfIC eVIdence But It can be saId for Ruckelshaus that, as he leaves, the E{,A has at least begun a large survey of lakes across the country to understand the true Inwardness of the aCId raIn controversy
The AllIance for Balanced EnvIronmental StudIes, a WashIngton-based organIzatIon, recently sponsored a JournalIstIc tour of the aCId raIn faCIlItIes In New York state's AdIrondack MountaIns The Idea was to keep pace WIth what the new EPA InvestIgatIons mIght d]sclose WhIle the study has been far from completed (eventually 1,200 lakes In three watersheds WIll be surveyed), some temporary answers JustIfy both Anne Burford and WIllIam Ruckelshaus In theIr go-slow response to the demands for qUIck legIslatIve cures
The JournalIstIc group VISIted LIttle Green Pond and Bone Pond, WhICh are In the same watershed a few mIles from the resort communIty of Saranac Lake Though the ponds are only a few hundred yards apart, one IS aCIdIfIed and one IS not
ChemIsts, WIth theIr mystIcal notatIon, speak of pH levels that gIve the gradatIon between amounts of aCIdIty and alkalInIty LIttle Green Pond has always had an "acceptable" pH ratIng whIle Bone Pond has not To explaIn the dIscrepancy, Robert Newton, a SmIth College geology professor, suggested the SOlI structure was a major factor
Bone Pond water comes largely from raInfall that IS draIned from a surroundlng ~urface that IS heaVIly blanketed wlth decaYlng leaves The bottom of Bone Pond Itself conslst~ of a layer of organIC ~edlment that IS very Impermeable ThIS ISOlates Bone Pond from the more alkalIne ground water aqulfer that would normaJly "neutralIze" the water In the pond WIth LIttle Green Pond, the ~ltuatlon IS dIfferent It~ waters come not only from dIrect raInfall and surface runoff but also from the deep aqUIfer that spIlls up through a natural gravel-sand bottom to gIve an "acceptable pH level" that WIll support fISh
In 1982 a SIgnIfIcant experIment was made A soda ash "mItIgatIon" treatment of Bone Pond raIsed ItS pH level and It now supports brook trout
ThIS IS the sort of patIent InvestIgatIon and experIment that should precede legIslatIon Between "soda ash mItIgatIon" of lakes and a compulsory legIslatIve order to MIddle Western electrIC utIlItIes to stop burnIng coal there could be a matter of a few bIllIon dollars, to be assessed on rate payers and tax payers as well as on unfortunate Investors

The reason that the flnd was so unusual, sald Jourdan, lS that the Spanlsh Dancer -the largest of the nudlbranchs -- normally measures a maXlmum length of a foot The average length of other spec1es of nudlbranchs, he sdld, lS about 25 to 30 mllllmeters, or about an lnch long In the many years of dlvlng ln the KwaJaleln Atoll, Jourdan sald that the largest Spanlsh Dancer John~on found measured only 8 lnches ln length
Nudlbranch~ -- some of the most beautlful of marlne anlmals -- can be found worldwlde, usually ln shallow waters They arc carnlvorouS and feed on such creatures as anemones, corals and sponges

HawaIIan Controversy
A Sanctuary For Humpback Whales?
By RONALD TOOT LAHAINA, Hawall (UPI) -- Hawall's larg
est vlsltors, the humpback whales, are sWlmmlng lnto lsland waters on thelr annual pllgrlmage from the north, obllV10US to a debate among thelr land-bound nelghbors on a proposed ocean sanctuary for the sea mammals
The ldea of chrlstenlng waters around the Hawallan Islands as the natlon's flrst humpback whale preserve may be on the verge of becomlng a reallty -- to the cheers of envlronmentallsts and the howls of boaters and flshermen
The plan has survlved years of local opposltlon, acrlmonlOUS publlC hearlngs, protests from state polltlclans, and, most recently, a strateglc move by a skeptlcal governor
Whale researcher James Hudnall flrst proposed a refuge ln waters around the lSland of Mau] seven years ago He remalns the proJect's strongest proponent
"A whale sanctuary lS partlcularly approprlate ln Hawall waters, where we have one of the great habltats ln whlch whales mate, calve, and nurse thelr young," he sald
But the ldea has been conslstently fought by Hawallan flshermen, boaters and other water sports enthuslasts, who fear lt wll1 eventually add another l3yer of regulatlon to thelr llvellhoods and recreatlon
"When the federal bureaucracy gets Involved ln management, there are more and more condltlons placed upon lt because of demands by envlronmentallsts," sald Wadsworth Yee, chalrman of the Western Paclflc Flshery Management Councll_
Yee predlcted a court battle between the state and federal governments as a lastdltch effort to hold up at least part of the project
The humpback whales of the North PaclflC -- untll recently estlmated at 800, but now known to number more than 1,500 -- begln arrlvlng ln the warm waters off the Hawallan Islands each fall Lone scouts lead the way for the rest of the herd
There, especlally ln the waters around the lsland of Maul, they spend the wlnter matlng, calvlng and ralslng thelr young When sprlng comes, the whales begln the return trlp to waters south of Alaska
DurIng thelr Hawallan vacatlon, the humpbacks are monltored by researchers, stalked by shutterbugs and ogled by hordes of tourlsts aboard passlng crUlse ShlPS The lncreaslng fasclnatlon wlth the arrlval of the whales has worrled some
"You've got whale watchers, researchers, hoble cats, wlndsurfers, para-sallors, Jet skls, kayaks, and commerClal flshlng vessels all out there," sald Ray Sautter of the Natlonal Marlne Flsherles Servlce, WhlCh enforces current laws agalnst whale harassment and WhlCh would also pollce the sanctuary
"There are more people out on the same amount of water," he sald
The whales, WhlCh can grow nDre than 60 feet long and welgh ln excess of 30 tons, can be easlly spotted from the shore
Among the most anlmated and acrobatlc of whales, humpbacks may slap a fllpper or tall agalnst the water wlth a loud report or leap almost entlrely clear of the water They are probably most famous for thelr hauntlng, ethereal "song," a complex pattern of sounds ln eplsodes lastlng from SlX to 40 mlnutes
Researchers have reported that all the whales ln a glven populatlon slng the same song each year When the whales return the followlng year, the song has been modlfled sllghtly, and the new verSlon has agaln been learned by all members of the herd
Nearly everyone agrees they should be protected, but dlsagree on how
The humpbacks, as a marlne mammal and an endangered specles, already are protected from harassment under federal law Boaters, as well as SWlmmers and dlvers, are not a1]owed to approach wlthln 100 yards of the whales ln most waters and wlthln 300 yards ln areas where the whales calve

as I started to do three days after the blrth -- I fantaslzed about what It would be llke
You could open up a door and know It was a bedroom because you could see a bed The closets would hold a few empty hangers and an extra blanket for cold nlghts There would be nothlng to trlp over, nothlng growlng under the bed, and nothlng to spray for
It has been flve years Slnce the nest emptled and home stlll looks llke a garage sale that was moved lndoors because of raln It's as If the klds never left
Cardboard boxes marked "MISCEL" splll out of every closet, skl poles hang out from under the bed, backpacks, sleeplng bags and torn luggage llne the shelves
Somewhere It lS wrltten that someth~ng bad wlIl happen to a mother who throws away a yearbook, a report card, or a bluebook full of wrong answers Those are thlngs that are supposed to comfort us In our old age If we llve through the flre
We are the keeper of the hard shoes they may need In case a frlend gets marrled We store the drum set that the apartment manager objected to because It left oll stalns on the carpet We are the watchdog of the deflated basketballs, the whoople cushlons, the strlngless tennlS rackets, the pressed corsages and the memorablila of the last 20 years or so of thelr llves

"Then toss thel'l out " "Are you crazy? They're classlcs'" I took a deep breath and prepared to

"I hate It when you start a speech wlth that "

Scientists Study Turtles' Frenzied Nesting
SYDNEY, Australla (UPI) -- Every year on a remote coral lsland off the far north Queensland coast, hundreds of turtles crawl ashore to lay thelr eggs
A normal occurrence most years, but thls year turtles are comlng ashore llterally by the thousand -- more turtles than anyone can remember
On Ralne Island one nlght recently, a team of SClentlsts counted 11,467 green turtles
The number of female green turtles on or about the coral reef was estlmated at about 50,000, and the total wlthln a radlus of about 18~ mlles at 100,000 to 150,000
The mass nestlng began last October and lS Just flnlshlng
