Bellow's works are marked by

poignantly - and sometimes
painfully - on the theme of

himself and his world.

straight party ticket.
"It's a big election and a big
ballot," says Jim Millen, who
reads meters for the city dur-
ing the rest of the year. He is
sliding new paper strips into a
machine. "They're using nine
strips - that's as many as you
can fit into one of these."
DICK WILLIAMS, retired city
fire marshall and semi-profes-
sional clown, uses the money he
makes working on the voting
machines to take his winter va-
cations in Florida. "Of course,
I only go between elections," he
laughs.
Williams " is testing levers,
making sure they'll work the
way they're supposed to when
the voter steps into the booth.
"These things weigh maybe
650-700 pounds apiece," he says.
"After you set them up and
mote them around allday long,
you don't have to be rocked to

CITY CLERK Jerome Weiss

Grand Rapids. "And we're us-

adds.
"It's not just going to the
polls to vote," says Weiss.
"There's a great -deal of work
behind every vote that's cast."

SPEAKING yesterday at a3
news conference at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, Bellow told re-
porters he felt "like the most
confused character" he's ever;
created. j
He was asked to compare his?
feelings now with those last
year, when he had been nom-
inated for the Nobel Prize but
lost in a sharply split vote.
"I was passed over and I was
delighted because I was spared
this," he said. Then, in another

he was by the Nobel Prize,"
said Bellow. "He felt he had to
give a better account of him-
self and I remember feeling
rather sorry for him . . . I think
it made him quite wretched. I
hope it isn't going to make me
wretched."
He said he had no plans for
the $160,000 that accompanies
the prize, but in a reference to
the glare of publicity he added:;
"At this rate, my heirs will get,
the money in a day or two."
HE MENTIONED a number
"I received two or three thou-
sand letters from people pouring
o-t their souls to me, saying,
'This is my life, this is what it's
been like for me.' And then I
understood that for some reason
these themes were visited upon
me, that I didn't always pick
them, they picked me." .
"I began to have a little re-
spect then for my own hunches
and also I felt that you could
be a charlatan with this kind of
power and you'd better be care-
ful with it."

office for the Bolles' case, said,
"Because of recent statements
about the Adamson case by Mr.
Donald Harris . . . the state
feels that the possibility of re-'
versal on appeal is too great to
proceed to trial at this time."
He added, "Mr. Harris' state-
ments came at a most inappro-
priate time, just when the jury
selection began and just as it
becomes obvious that getting 12
impartial jurors would be an
extremely difficult task."
Theddefense, in its motion,
accused Harris of lying and
courting publicity for personal

When someone drinks too
much and then drives, it's the silence
that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives, and people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save.
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is, "I'll
drive you home." Or, "Let me call a
cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch
tonight.".
Don't hesitate because your
friend may have been drinking only
coffee never made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident.
But that's about all.
The beet way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop him from driving.
Speak up. Don't let silence be
the last sound he hears.
