The State of Washington made a study of the results of surgical techniques on hack injury victims. Twenty per cent of all surgery cases were total failure. Another 20 per cent were found to have "very good" results. The other 60 per cent were somewhere in between. Certainly surgery has its place but many cases of hack injury respond very well to more conservative and far less risky chiropractic procedures, completely non-surgical. It pays to investigate all alternatives, including chiropractic, where back injury is involved.

Crime repels and fascinates us. A harbinger of the random murder syndrome that afflicts us in the late 20th Century, the Leopold and Loeb case, called The Crime of the Century, is described by author Hal Higdon. Deftly separating fact from fiction, he pictures two misguided young men near geniuses from families who were considered millionaires who kidnapped and killed 14-year-old Bobby Franks and then demanded $10,000 ransom for his release. .Clarence Darrow represented Leopold and Loeb at the trial and author Higdon can reveal facts long denied the public now that the last participant has passed away. SPYING HAS been in the press a great deal lately, and it brings to mind The Oppenheimer Case : Security on Trial by Philip M. Stem, an older book that still fascinates. Defended four times by Richard M. Nixon, the Oppenheimer case speaks on issues such as the power of the military, the meaning of loyalty and freedom of conscience. From a letter written by an obscure exofficial in 1953 that Oppenheimer was a Soviet agent all the way to the •"notorious" trial. One of the nation's most respected scientists watched as the powerful figures throughout the government rushed to bring him down. K O B B K K Y II A S sometimes been glorified in our history, but few eases are as bizarre as The Santa Claus Bank Robbery (364.1 G>. Once upon a time (jus! before Christmas in 1927) Santa Claus and three helpers set out to rob a bank They didn't intend to harm a hair of anyone's head In fact, they were so pleased with the ingenuity of their plan (it wouldn't take longer than cashing a cheek) that they laughed and sang hymns all the way to the bank But the laughter turns to violence and tragedy as , A C. Green re-creates one of American's most bizarre Dixieland Coming To Promenade SEA ISLE CITY - The Midiri Brothers Red Garter Dixieland Band will be the featured entertainment 7:30 tonight on the Promenade, part of the city's summer concert series. The Midiri Brothers. Paul and Joe. are twins and each plays a number of instruments. The brothers have been playing with Dixieland bands professionally for a number of years, and this marks their first appearance on the Promenade here. They also have a 10-piece dance band that plays regularly at the Red Garter in North Wildwood. Dick Alliger of WWOC Radio's "Make Believe Ballroom" .will emcee the concert.

bank holdups. Which took the lives of seven men in Cisco, Texas. HE TELLS of the four hapless blunderers, three of them ex-cons, who thought no one would really object to their bank heist "because the bank didn't really own the money"; how one of them wore a Santa Claus costume as a disguise — but didn't expect the children of Cisco to follow him into the bank because of it. How the comedy of errors and miscalculations (they actually forgot to get gasoline for the getaway car) inexeroably turned into bloody disaster; and how, after a widespread manhunt, one of the robbers died of gunshot wounds, one in the electric chair, and one, Santa himself, at the hands of a lynch mob. THE ONE WHO survived is still alive in Texas today, as is this violent and ironic tale of the naive frontier mind encountering the beginning of the end of the Old West. Find the Magician! ; the Counterfeiting Crime of the Century is a true story of how a chance encounter in a taxicab led to the breakup of the most threatening counterfeiting plot since Hitler tried to break the Bank of England. "The Magician" was one of the cleverest forgers of all time; in the fall of 1974 his men were introducing thousands of pounds of funny money into an already tottering British economy, and the authorities were secretly terrified. THE ENTHRALLED reader will join in this great chase, inevitably agreeing at the end with the sentencing magistrate of the Old Bailey, who wished that he could have awarded "these two gentlemen an Oscar". Find the Magician is a Walter Mitty story come true; a tale of wit. bravery, and plain old good fortune, in which crime almost paid. The Day They Stole the Mono Lisa is the true story of the most spectacular art robbery ever — the theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in Paris in 1911 — and its incredible aftermath. The crime was the brainchild of a man of noble and nefarious background known as the Marques de Valfierno. who. secure in the knowledge that for sortie the desire to possess beautiful things knows no limits, conceived a masterful plan to profit from that insight. HE NEEDED the help of Yves Chaudron. the best art forger money could buy i they had collaborated in the past), and an Italian carpenter named Perugia, who knew the Louvre inside and out. At the heart of the ruse was a simple question: Why steal the Mona Lisa and sell it to only one larcenous connoisseur when, with a little effort, you can sell it to six? From the moment Perugia walked out of the Louvre On Aug. 21. 1911. in broad daylight, surrounded by a roomful of workers and with the world's most famous portrait under his arm all went smoothly. The recovery of the painting two years later is. as they say. a story invtself.
