Bellow's works are marked by a wry humor that touches poignantly - and sometimes painfully - on the theme of man trying to make sense of himself and his world.

"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 sleep at night." CITY CLERK Jerome Weiss says the city, recently bought a batch of used machines from Grand Rapids. "And we're us- inc every one of them," he adds.

"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."

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 reasons.

Select from the above II@ 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.
