MAKE A CHOICE...Signs show directions to three places in Switzerland for these cyclists, who have a choice of 15 different routes set aside for bike riders throughout the country. Supervised by the Swiss Touring Club, the paths have red signposts, taking bikers through little villages, past castles, mansions extending to rural land­ marks not mentioned in guidebooks. Hill d iefixr Ann Landers When Ann Landers announced her forthcoming divorce in her July 2, 1975 column, many of her readers asked, "Does this strain her credibility?" For 20 years, Mrs. Jules Lederer (her real name) has been offering advice in hew newspaper column on everything from petting to divorce, from in-law problems to telephone etiquette. At last count, her column was read by an estimated 54 million readers in 631 newspapers. I doubt if any writer in the world enjoys more readers than Ann Landers. But because her marriage ended after 36 years, does this mean all the advice she's given must be thrown out the window? If so, then what do you do with the dentists who have toothaches? Bankers who need loans? Surgeons who have ruptured appendixes? If we put confidence only in those who are "per­ fect," does this mean a clown can never cry? Or a minister can never entertain doubts? Or a certified public accountant can never make an error in arith­ metic? Or a prize-winning chef can never bake a cake that falls? The truth is that none of us is letter-perfect. As Ann said in her July 2 column, "The lady with all the an­ swers does not know the answer to this one" (about her divorce). When we recognize the humanness in ourselves, we are better able to cope with the humanness in others. No one has every problem sewed up in a neat little package. No one has a corner on truth.

Once, the city rose to more than 2,000 inhabitants, died as quickly when the magic call of "gold" echoed from another mountainside. South Pass City lasted just long enough to become, briefly, the economic and political hub of Wyoming Territory.
