It's the first test of the day for the somnolent and, at this hour. unwilling reflexes of a woman who has made millions WKlt her reflexes: Christine M~rie Evert Lloyd. "It's not the wake-up call, not yet." she later explains. "It's so I can call the valet early enough to get same-<iay ser- vice on my laundry. I send it out. and go back to sleep for a while." Chris Evert Lloyd. whose face would be recognized by patrons of laun- dromats on every continent, deals with the daily clump of soiled clothing and sweaty tennis duds herself -just like everybody else. That doesn't mean she has to drag it to the machines. and monitor, and fold. Chrissie can weJI af- ford the exorbitant hotel charges on T-shirts and socks - and besides. it's deductible. But she doesn't have a traveling secretary, mother, coach or friend to help her now, as she sometimes has had in the past. She doesn't even have a husband now. Llfe in this 15th season as a player of internationally feared talent is in some ways about the same as it was when, leaving her teens. Chrissie began to trot the globe without her wise and lov- ing mother, Colette Evert. It's Chr\.ssie 4 fAMU.YWWU.Y •MAY 6 • 11114 against the world of strong-armed and covetous women , most of whom grew up admiring and emulating her, ponytailing their hair and ~itioning their hands. both of them, on the backhand. But there's a difference now. In a world she long commanded. she a mently plays second racket to Mar- tina Navratilova.. In the French Open, which runs from May 28 to June 10, she11 try to change that. Chrissie is also encountering a new sense of loneliness. She is paned from John Lloyd, her handsome English husband of five years, and a tournament-faring pro himself, though well below her in ranking and ac- complishments. So it's been a dual frustration: She's facing the feeling that she may never find the right guy, or the right oombination to beat NavratiJova. the woman who has nesated her force like Darth Vader in a short skirt. If this is upsetting to you and me and all those Chrissie-watchers -some of whom began their adoring vigil back in 1970 when. as a schoolgirl pipsqueak of 15. she bested the world's No. 1, Margaret Court. to win a tourney in North Carolina -Chrissie herself isn't buying. "I've never feJt better about myselr," she says, and the verve in her voice underlines that assertion. "Not too long ago, I might have said that, and I would have been putting up a brave front. It would have been a pat statement made Oiris hos l«1m«l Iii~ "doon t nec:atarily work out IM way you thought it would. " by someone very insecure. "Earlier in my career when people said I was emotionless, I was really pro- tecting myself. I cried in private. Sometimes I was practically sick with anxiety before a match. But my father taught me never to let anything show. Never give your opponent a lift that way. And it was a way to deal with.in-. ~ secunty. "The insecurity is gone.

At she has learned that life "doesn't necessarily work out the way you thought it wou1d at 16" -her age the year ol her spedaW1ar U.S. Open debut.

For her 1V comifi8"0Ut, during the second round, she sl\188ed her way out of six match-point traps to beat hsvily favored Mary Ann Eisel. "Back then there was no way I oouJd have imaQined still playing at my age. I usumed fd be married and have three kids by now. 1 still have strong family feelinss," says Evert IJoyd. the second eldest among five children. "but they'll have to wait until I am thJ"OUlh playing, at led two more years. "I have no regrets. thouBh. that it hasn't worked out that way.' It was in November 1983 that her in· stin<:is led her away from both terr nis and her husband. (The oouple announced a separation in lme Janu· ary.) "I reali2ed f had to get away co~ pletety, from everyone and.ewrything.'' is how she desaibes a three-month sabbatical from the tour, which ended at the C.OmputerLand U.S. Women's In- doors tournament in East Hanover.

The most recent that did was probably the 1926 joining of first-rate English players Bitty McKane · and L.e.Slie Godfree, a a>Uple either so together. or so oblivious, that they even won the Wimbledon mixed doubles in roncert. (No married pair has rome close to winning a major mixed in the 57 intervening years.) But the Godfrees inhabited a lo~ vanished tennis era. a time when the game was essentially an amateur pas- time. making few if any of the demands prevalent today. Travel was slight. money nonexistent. ac;tulation limited. The Lloyds shouldered heavy odds, however. It's tough enough for one spouse to deal with the planetary schedules. the vagane! ·or winning and losing. the attendant exaJting or batter· Ing of status and ego. Then. imagine two infrequent bed.fellows trying to reach the same goals along the sepa- rate tracks of male and female circuits. John. 29. a good player who repre- sents Great Britain in the Davis Cup, ranked as high as 23rd among the men just prior to his marriage. B.ut he began tumbling almost as soon as they left the church, sublimating his career to hers. and falling tower as the two seemed happiest, down to the 300's on the pro computer printouts. ~uriously. as word spread of the Lloyds disenchantment. he began to reverse the trend and had recovered, to 17th, at the time of the split. His combative juices don't bubble as fiercely as hers. and sometimes that bothered her. As history had predicted. it wasn't clicking. · · "It isn't just tennis players that have trouble." she says. "We knew it would be hard with all the traveling apart from each other, but we thought we could make it work. It wasn't a tennis problem or an ego problem." And then there is that other agon- izing separation -from the No. 1 (Women's Tennis Association) ranking with which she cohabited for so long. AJ the official conclusion of the 1983 Women ·s Virginia Slims finale at New York's Madison Square Garden in March 1984, Navratilova crushed Evert Lloyd for the ninth straight time over a stretch of 15 months. It didn't seem right.

Denver ta/ta to the mountain• for inspiration. I'm an amateur astronomer. and one of my favorite things to do i.s go cami>- ing during the Perseid meteor shower, which usually occurs one night be- tween August 12th and 15th. It's really spectacular -you see ar least one meteor a minute . Well, one year. I'd gotten a tor of friends together to go up into the mountains for the shower. I told them, "The Perseid meteor shower will blow you guys away." We hiked about seven miles to this little lake in Colorado -I won't tell you where, 'cause it's a nice spot, and you know what happens when everybody finds out. We had a great evening fishing and then cooking and eating around the fire. Everybody was saying. "AJI right. where are your meteors?" They were due to start about midnight, but everyone was exhausted. They said, "You can tell us aJI about it in the morning." I told them they didn't know what they'd be missing. I was ly- ing there watching the stars later. and soon the meteor shower began. One went smoking across the sky, and from all over the campsite I heard. "WOW! Did you see that?'' My friends had stayed awake all right. and we were up most of the night watching meteors. It was on another trip to see the meteor shower that l started writing "Rocky Mountain High " We were up about 11 ,000 feet. and the trees were pitch black against the sky. There was no moon. but there was so much light from the stars that when you stood under the trees. there was a little pool of shadow from the starlight. That real· ly got me. That and the wind and the rain and the fire and especially the sky. You have no idea what the heavens look like until you spend a night in the wilderness. + I'm into gourmet camping these days. (That's when you bring along a oouple of bottles of wine or plastic con- tainers of wine so you don t lrave the weight of the bottles.) I'm going to write a book called John Denver's GUide to Gourmet Camping. Get a whole bunch of people to send in recipes and anec· dotes. A great camping drink is caJled a Snuggler. It's hoc chocolate with pep- permint schnapps. On one trip with my wife. Annie, and my secretary, we'd planned a feast. We brought along fet· tucine to have with the fish I would catch. Well. they poured this fettucine onto my plate, and it seemed kind of weird to me. In.stead of wa.ter. they'd accidentally cooked it in the pepper- mint schnapps, which happens to look just like water. My kids like camping. We have this picture ol Zachary (now 91 on his first trip when he was about 2. He'd dropped a big cantaloupe in the dart, and had go«en stuff aJI over his face. It was 1ust hilarious. He loved it because no one sa.id anything'to him about ge«ing dir- ty. On one trip, every time Anna Kate (now 7) heard a crack in the woods. she'd say, 'What was that?" All you can do is explain to them what the sounds are and give them confidence in being outdoors. But it's hard for a little kid to get up at night and go out in the woods to go to the bathroom. That's w.hen you hear, "Oaaaaaad!" The kids love to col· led thing.s on these trips. Why is it they always want to bring home·rocks? Now that I'm a little older. I've become a ~ntleman camper.

The ··bottles of wine are already "breathing." A guy takes our horses for us, and there's nothing to do except enjoy the feast. The ·next day we 80 riding, and it's the same thing all over again. They just keep moving the campsite. That's first<.lass camping if I ever saw it. But the ideal camping ex- perience for me is to be with really good friends, ride to a little mountain lake, and set up base camp. One of the great things in the world is the smell of good cooking over a campfire -food just tastes so much better out in the wilder- ness. I may have trout that I catch and some sort of brown- rice casserole. Of course, I have my guitar with me. I prefer the lake to be nestled in a canyon so when I 80 out there to sing, my voice will echo. Now that's nice. There's something about the wilderness. about the woods. that's important to me. It's in all of my songs. Over the years dunng my career, the outdoors has saved me and my sanity. Going back to Aspen and seeing those Rocky Mountajns still there. well. it's helped me be strong. 0 ing. where each little luxury in camp is also a weight in the pack, the choices are harder. What every camper must make certain of is that the basics do get packed: ade- quate dothing. shelter and bedding; cooking provisions. and simple medical supplies, Then you can start .debating with yourself abo~ .the lux- uries you want to take. A note about sleeping bags. If you camp high in Western mountains, you'll want something more than the minimum department-store bedroll. You can't very well So wrong with •what is called a "three-season" style sleeping bag, insulated with waterfowl down or one of the better polyester fills (Hollfil 11. Quallofil, PolarGuard). What you don't need -what too many campers in temperate climates buy and carry -is the massive envelope of highest-quality goosedown. suitable for sleeping on a polar icecap. Also, consider the pad or mattress. Some people do fine with thin pads of closed-cell foam: many campers like something more between them and the hard. cold rconllntlf'd on pagt 11 J F AMIL' W ttKl.Y.

If an air mattress is your choice. better not settle for the cheap variety that may spring a leak in the middle of the first night out. One item that belongs in any camper's kit these days is a portable stove (they come in several sizes). powered by "white" gasoline, kerosene, butane or propane. You can no longer oount on scavenging wood, even in wilderness areas. In some spotS you have to buy firewood; in others. fires are prohibited outright. ~ 12• Nol double-checking everything before you flO.

Bring a tent or a tarp, know how to pitch it by flashlight if need be, and examine it before each trip for needed repair (compou~ to seal punctures and renew worn-out waterproof sur- faces are available at camping supply stores). Some auto campers take extra tarps to pitch over the kitchen. When buying your first tent. you need the ad- vice of a camping-supplies specialist. t.,.. 141 Not facing the po$$ibilily of trouble. Even the auto camper needs to know about such outdoor hazards as hypothennia (dangerous chilling, often called exposure) and its hot-weather counterpart. hyperthennia (heat exhaustion and heat stroke). Carry a first-aid kit and know how to use it. Red Cross chapters everywhere offer a speedy multimedia first-aid course for a very few dollars: a good in- vestment for any camper and essential for a camper with kids. When you settle into a campground, it's a scxxl idea to locate the nearest phone and check out the numbers to be called in an emergency.

Whether you backpack or car camp, the automobile is a very funda- mental piece of gear indeed. Get your vehicle checked over before you go. In very primitive regjons. like the Western deserts, you may need to carry extra supplies for your car, in- cluding at least a tire pump, extra radiator water, as, oil, transmission fluid and a seJection of tools. In arid country, be sure to carry a substantial supply of drinking water in your car at all ilmes. (conhntttd on ~ 12} CAMPING t.,.. 161 Following the crowds. Unsophisticated campers tend to wind up in campgrounds chockablock with other families -a sort of suburbia- under-the-sky. Some people like the gregariousness, but most campers welcome a little privacy. As the camp- ing population grows, it takes a little extra planning to avoid the crowds. One trick is to watch the calendar. Steer clear, if you can. of peak periods: Memorial Day. the Fourth of July and Labor Day. If you can't, take advantage of the reservation systems now operating in several states for park and forest camping. Weekdays in general are a better bet than weekends. and weeks just before Memorial Day and just. after Labor Day are under- populateq and delightful. Some camping areas, too, are busier than others. Private campgrounds are typically long on convenience and short on privacy. Areas labeled parks, both nat.ional and state. are often crowded . If the region you are visiting contains national forests, ·don't .I overlook these blocks of government-~ owned land. National forest cam~ ! grounds are numerous. and in them '$ you often find fewer people. lower fees. , Jess stringent regulations and more ~ modest facilities.

It's great to use an auto camp as a base for exploring the scenery on foot, but go carefully. The person most likely to get into trouble in wild country is not the backpacker but the car camper who strides out of the campground with little sear and less respect for the country he is exploring. If you venture onto unknown ground on a dayhike, take the jaunt seriously. Know where you're going, how to get there. how to get back. Leave word of your plans with someone.

With millions of Americans camping. every camper has a responsibility not to intrude on others -and not to con- tribute to the wear-and-tear that is slowly degrading America's recreation- al landscapes. There's a whole code and creed of what is called "low impact camping." For now I'll mention just three points: • Late at night especially. avoid ex- cessive noise and excessive light. And such noisemakers as portable tape- decks should be operated at a whisper, if at all. (If you're going into the wil- derness. leave th~ items at home.) • Don't wash dishes. clothes or bodies directly in the local-lake or stream. or under the nearest water spigot. Instead. draw water in a pan and dump it out of the way. on land. when you finish . (Some camps have drains for kitchen wasre -follow local rules.) Put food ·~raps into the garbage.

Highly specialized training is required to use the laser, and the unskilled practitioner risks serious injury to the patient "because you're moving at the speed or light," Dr. Voros stresses.

While lasers seem to have a place in almost every medical specialty. here's a brief rundown of current uses: Opbthamoloo. 'The laser has in· troduced treatments where none previously existed," says Stuart L. Fine. M.D .. director of lhe Retinal Vascular Center at the Wilmer Eye Institute or the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Specialists beam lasers to seal. cauterize or destroy the abnormal btood vessels-that character i:ze diabetic retinopathy, macuJar deaeneration (the leading cause of blind.n~ in people over 60), and other conditions affecting the back of the eye. They can also vaporize secondary (though not primary) cataract membranes and make a tiny opening in the iris to r~uce Che nuid and -prem.i~ buildup associated with glaucoma.

Their success rate in treating endometriosis - a condition that can cau~ infertility -is 65 percent.

"Tumors that have a rich blood supply are very difficult to remove." Dr. FuJler points out, because "bleeding could be a major side effect." The laser reduces bleedina and allows for greater precision. thus making this delicate surgery less risky. Guboe:ateroloa-Lasers pro- jected through fiber-<>ptic tubes are used to stop gastrointestinal bleeding and, experimentally, to destroy cancerous tumors in the G.l. tract. Podiatry. In addition to treating warts. different kinds of fungus and in- fected nails, podiatrists use the laser to get rid of neuromas (benign tumors composed of dusters of nerve tissue). When removed by traditional surgical techniques. neuromas have a tendency to recur, but laser surgery reduces the recurrence rate dramatically. Post- operative discomfort is also decreased.

Now an increas- ingly popular concept in con- sumer protection known as the pre-paid legal plan is I allowing people to seek the aid of a lawyer when they need it, without being barred bv the cost · A pre-paid l~al plan is sim- ilar to a medical insurance policy In return for a periodic premium. members are pro- nded with specified services ' .,.·henever the need to see a lawver arises. Judging from the recent growth of these plans, that de- mand appears to be great Ten million Americans now have legal coverage, up from less than 50.000 a decade ago. ~loreover. it is estimated that the ranks of plan participants will have risen to between 25 and SO million by 1990. Plans can be sponsored by employers (who either pay ·the premiums as a fringe ben- efit or dedua all or part of the cost from employee pay- checks). by unions (which pay premiums from dues). or by other groups or associations that want to provide this ser- vice to members. The sponsor a.rraJl8eS with an administrator: such as a trust fund or insurance com- pany. to operate the plan on a day-to-<iay basis. The adminis- trator uses the premiums to pay bills submitted by the at- torneys who provide legal ser- vices to the plan members. The amount of money par- t1c1pants save depends on how much they have to pay for the service (premiums can run as high as $200 annually) and what type of legal ex- penses they incur. Legal plans also vary widely in the amount of coverage they offer. The most limited benefLts are provided by "acces.s'" plans. which allow members to consult a lawyer for simple legal services Plan par- 11c1pants receive telephone advice. simple letters and specified types of legal documents at no cost. For more complex matters. addi- tional fees are charged to the member. but usually at lower- than-nonnal rates. "Comprehensive" plans of- fer broader services. They are designed to meet 90 percent of the personal l~al needs of middle-class families. Most of them. for example, cover divorces. wills and adoptions. but exclude business-related matters. There is also variance· in the freedom allowed mem- bers to choose their attorneys. "Closed-panel" plans pay only for lawyers approved by the administrator. "Open-panel" Within a few yea13, legal inauunce wlU be aa available - and aa common -aa medlcal coverage. policies allow members to use any licensed attorney. but 1f rhe fee exceeds specified levels the member must pay lhe difference. Many plans use a combi- nation of open and closed panels. General Motors. for example. provides its employees with a full-time staff of 200 lawyers and a lisr of several thousand private ar- tomeys who have agreed to the plan's rate schedule. If you are not currently par- t ici pat in g in a group- sponsored scheme. you may soon be able to buv this coverage. A number. of large insurance companies are already experimenting with pre-paid legal insurance . for individuals. One corporation. CIGNA. is offering its plan in SlX states through nyers in- cluded with Visa and Master- Card bills. Many experts predict that within a few years legal msu ranee will be as available -and as common -as medical coverage. fW Saunders M Bnd~ 1s a IOW\'er and a wnter m South Carolma F ""41LY W EEK1.Y. l'AY 6 . 1984 15 when you bu ARMSTROH no -wax inlaid floors.

Sol Gordon -who could be called /he Dr. Spock of sex educalion -and his wife, Judilh, have written a book on this {X!Tmlal responsibilily: Raising a Olild Con9ef'Vative!y in a Sexually Per· missive World (Simon & SdrusJer). Author Stephani Cook recently ~­ p/ored the issue with Dr. Gordon, who is a professor of ch11d and family sJudies a/ Syracuse Uniuersi.ty as well as the dim:tor of The Institute for Family Research and EducaJion there. Q: What is the one question you are asked most often? A: Parents want to know whether it isn't hannful to give too much informa- tion to their children, and children - well, let's say teenagers -worry whether it's nonnal not to have sex. Q: Let's talk about the question from parents first . A:. The critical issue as that knowledge is not hannful. If you tell children more than they want to know, they just tum you off, or get bored. Inappropriate behavior is not stimulated by too much • infonnation. but rather by ignorance and unresolved curiosity. Q: What about Jettin~ the school ban· dle the infonnation-gJving part? A:. Parents have to know that they are the sex educators of their children. whether they choose to do it well or '"'b~y. The schools are just filling in for the parents who do it badly. Q: You make the point that informa- tion is not the same as consent. A:. Parents who talk to their kids about sexuality -indeed, even about birth control -will have kids who will delay their own initiation Into sex, and when they do have it, they wm be more responsible. Q: How do you feel about sexual activi· ty among teenagers? A:. Both my wife and I think that teen- agers should not have sexual inter· course. It's a health hazard, they are too young, too vulnerable, too readily available lor exploitation. and they don't use contraception. Q: How old does the child have to be before you can broach this subject? A:. If you are what I call an "askable" parent, the chiJd will start asking ques- tions at 3. 4 and 5 years of age, and it's your respons.ibility to answer truthfully. Let children know that while sex is prilXlle, it is not secret. Q: Back to the question that teenagers ask most -about whether it's normal not to have sex. A:. There's a great deal of societal pressure on most kids for sexual in· volvement, and we have to reassure them it's OK not to. Also, parents need to let them know that sex is not the same as love.
