monkey business
Frequently, I am paral-
yzed with indecision. Should
I watch Johnny Carson or the
Journal? Do I like Joe Clark
or don't I? Should I wear a
raincoat or take an umbrel-
la? Or both? Should I lead a
club or a spade? Am I indeci-
sive or psychotic? I don't
know. I can't make up my
mind.
Naming the baby, deciding
on a hair style or a time for
dinner, trying to figure out
what you want on your pizza
— this sort of thing can make
you crazy, literally. I read
somewhere that making a
decision and sticking to it
was tile first sign of good
mental health.
Indecisiveness may be a
universal problem, but I
thought up a neat solution a
couple of weeks ago. Why
can't we try things out on a
comparative, experimental
basis first, and then make a
decision? This is what they
do with cold cures, deter-
gents, and cake"nixes. Why
not apply the process to per-
sonal dilemmas? (Or should
that be dilemnmae? I don't
know. You decide.)
My idea is called Rent -a -
Monkey. Say you are going
to a wedding in July and you
can't decide what to wear.
You rent a couple of monkeys
and dress one in the floral
chiffon and picture hat, and
the other in the white linen
Backgammon
By Ward
With the 5-1, many play-
ers would make the natu-
ral looking move, 10/5,
23/22. This move safeties
X's exposed blot while ad-
vancing his defensive an-
chor from the 23 -point to
the 22 -point.
However, this move
would be a serious mis-
take. Moving 10/5 is fine,
but X should simply finish
the roll by moving 2/1.
X has serious problems
which can best be alleviat-
ed by freeing one of his
three back checkers. At the
moment, and probably for
some time to come, X must
roll a 6 to do so.
While advancing a man
to the 22 -point does nothing

suit and veiled pillbox. Then
give them each a canape and
a champagne glass and set
them to promenading around
the living room. You would
soon see which ensemble
was you, you, you.
You might be wondering if
you should have a baby. Rent
a monkey for a month. Take
it for walks, feed it, change
it, and stuff it into a snowsuit
a couple of times a day. Then
if you don't like the idea you
can just send the monkey
back and get some tropical
fish instead.
Can't decide,. whether to
wear a coat or a light cardi-
gan? Put a sweater on your
rented monkey, and send
him or her out. If the monkey
bangs on the door and chat-
ters to be let back inside,
you'll know you'd better
wear a coat.
Want to have an affair?
Rent a monkey and send him
out nightly on illicit assigna-
tions. If he comes home
frisky and whistling, maybe
he's onto something. If, on
the other hand, he skulks,
develops a rash and overeats
compulsively, you'd better
find a new hobby.
Having a dinner party?
Indecisive about the menu?
Rent six monkeys and try out
all the possibilities. If they
turn up iheir noses at the
torte or blanche at the blanc
mange you can strike these
to make it easier to escape,
it creates a serious danger
for X if he does escape.
The problem is that in
escaping, X breaks his de-
fensive anchor. In fact, the
first time X rolls a 6, he
has no choice: he must
break his defensive anchor.
Suppose the following
sequence of rolls occurs. X
plays the 5-1 as 10/5, 23/22;
and then 0 rolls a number
like 4-3 and moves both of
his back men into X's outer
board. X then rolls a 6 and
is forced to break the 22 -
point by moving a man into
O's outer board.
X now has three exposed
blots, all vulnerable to at-
tack ' by 0. There are many
0 rolls which hit one or
two of these blots, and
some rolls also make home
board points at the same
time. Notice how particu-
larly crushing a 5-5 by 0
would be.
The bottom line is that X
is in great danger of not
only losing, but losing a
gammon. To avoid these
problems, X must keep his
extra man on the 22 -point
and his anchor on the 23 -
point.
Since X currently needs
to free only one back man,
there is no value in prepar-
ing a second one to escape.
Furthermore, by keeping
the anchor where it is, X
cannot be forced to break
it no matter what he rolls.
Points are numbered 1 to
24, starting with X's home
board at the lower left. A
move, for example, from
the 7 -point to the 3 -point is
written 7/3. 7/3• means
that a man was hit on the
3 -Point. 7/3(2) means that
two men . were moved to
the 3 -point.

Rent -a -Monkey seemed
like a sure-fire idea, espe-
cially when I thought about
the spin-off jobs it would pro-
vide. You'd need a fleet of
trucks for pick-up and
delivery. You'd need a main-
tenance and repair staff, and
some kind of insurance
coverage in case one of your
inventory ran amok. In time,
I suppose the government
would form a Federal Rent-
a -Monkey Investment Re-
view Board.
I was about to look into
franchise arrangements for
Rent -a -Monkey when I saw a
newspaper story called
"Brunt of Research Borne
by Monkeys." In Philadel-
phia anctors are whacking
monkeys on the head as part
of a research project into
treatment of human head in-
juries. One doctor refused to
make any comment "be-
cause it has potential to stir
up all sorts of unnecessary
fuss among those who are
sensitive to those kind of
things."
I guess he's referring to
the monkeys. The formation
of a Simian Rights Commis-
sion wouldn't surprise me at
all and we may have to
change the name of that
famous adjustable spanner.
This development cer-
tainly sends Rent -a -Monkey
down the tube. Too bad. Now
we'll • have to do our own
experimenting using people,
just like we did with insula-
tion, Zomax, education, food
additives, radioactive waste
and things like that.
Our
Children
By WILLARD ABRAHAM
Ph.D.
Let daughter
--keep her'drearn
Q.
We have a 14 -year-old
who feels that politics con-
stitutes the most exciting
activity in the world. What
bothers me most is how un-
realistic she is, despite all
of my efforts to put some
brains into her silly little
head.
She spends a tremendous
amount of time in volun-
teering — addressing enve-
lopes, making phone calls,
taking messages, and all
the rest — in the office of a
state legislator whom she
feels has a lot of the right
answers to our big prob-
lems.
I try to explain to her
that she is wasting her
time, and that the prob-
lems of people who contact
their office were there
when I was a kid and will
still be around when she
has children of her own.
She is starry-eyed about
"democracy" and believes
that it really is true that
one person has the power
to make big changes in our
society.
I need help in coping
•
with her foolish attitudes.
Can you suggest some
ways I can use to get her to
be more realistic?
A. One person can't
make a difference? You're
kidding, aren't you?
Florence Nightingale,
Lincoln, Churchill, Moses,
Einstein, Edison — and we
can go on and on and on.
Why don't you lay off
your daughter and let her
dream, plan and work for
good causes? You're so
lucky to have a daughter
who apparently is sensi-
tive, compassionate and
dedicated. We need more
like her.
Q. I'm really worried
about the fact that our 13 -
year -old daughter has such
a low opinion of herself. It
has not always been like
this, but it has for about a
year.
On subjects like her ap-
pearance ("I wish I were
pretty like so-and-so is"),
school grades ("I won't
pass — I'm a failure — no
use studying"), and sports

ability ("I never win — I'm
no good"), she is always
negative.
There really are no good
reasons for this attitude.
She is very pretty (and 1
am definitely not the only
one who thinks so), gets
good grades and is an ex-
cellent swimmer, runner
and tennis player.
Please give me some
hints on how to handle this
situation.
A. Children go through
stages, and the pre -puberty
and adolescent years are
when they "often become
quite obvious.
It is probably a good
idea to talk through this
issue with your daughter in
an open, accepting manner,
realizing that to her it is a
very real problem. She
may gradually realize that
the facts of her prettiness,
school capabilities and
sports achievements are
rally true, but such realiza-
tions may take some time
to emerge.
You can stress her
strengths without running
down her friends in any
way. That is usually a mis-
take to do.
Patience has to be one of
your needs, now and per-
haps for the next year or
two.
Q. Our 3 -year-old gets
into so much trouble that I
feel I'm going to scream
and run out of the house.
Isn't that awful to get so
upset about a little kid?
But it's" a fact and I might
as well face it.
He dumps garbage, tries
to play with the stove,
turns the water on, plays
with the toilet, messes
around with his food — and
that's only the beginning!
So help me out, please!
A. A good preschool
(after you check out its
personnel progranLand-.fa=—
cilities), some time away
from him, sharing the situ-
ation with your husband (or
other relative), considering
"preventative discipline"
(by making the garbage
and water less available,
for example) — those are a
few starters for you.
By the way, you have a
lot of company. It some-
times helps a little bit to -
recognize that you are not
alone.
Silent Mickey flopped
Mickey Mouse was far
from an instant success. In
fact, when introduced in the
silent cartoons "Galloping
Gaucho" and "Plane Crazy,"
he flopped. He caught on
when he began to speak — in
Walt Disney's own voice.
San Francisco picked
"What city would you visit
if you had your choice of orgy.,
in 'the world?" A group `of
travelers, asked that ques-
tion in a survey by the Brit-
ish travel magazine, Busi-
ness Traveller, put San
Francisco first, followed by
Paris and Singapore.
White blackberry? Yup!!
Famed horticulturist Lu-
ther Burbank once devel-
oped a white blackberry just
to prove he could do it.
