It's up and over for the Rampmaster in the middle as he executes a daring ramp flip during the Florida Cypress Gardens Water Ski Show. Physical appearance is Our calling card. An attractive and pleasant appearance opens doors. It is not merely vanity that prompts tens of thousands of Americans to tum to cosmet­ ic surgery to seek improve­ ment of physical appear­ ance. The mental shock of "dumbo" ears can mark a boy for life, the American MedtcalT Association points out. The most common cosmet­ ic surgical procedure is the rhinoplasty -- the "nose job." The surgeon removes excess bone and cartilage to reduce the hump on a promi­ nent nose. For proper facial harmony, chins are some­ times built up with bone Or cartilage transplants in an operation called mento-r . » plasty. «! Hanging upper eyelids that give a look of fatigue and aging can be corrected by removing excess skin and fat. The operation is called blepharoplasty, Bags under die eyes are included in this procedure. The widely known "face lift" is actually called rhytidoplasty. Inci­ sions are made close to the ear and in the hairline and the skin is redraped into a more youthful position. JBxcess skin is removed. The aging process continues, however, and the face lift must be re­ peated after a few years. Surgery to correct protrud­ ing ears -- otoplasty -- is usually performed just prior to the child's entering school. This protects the child frOm the teasing by schoolmates that may arise from his appearance. The in­ cision usually is hidden on the back side of die ear. Breast enhancement through implanting of a silicone prosthesis some­ times is sought. Injection of liquid silicone into the breast has been found to be harmful and is no longer done. En­ larged, sagging breasts can be reduced by surgery to re­ move excess tissue and re­ shape the breast. Rustic surgical operations do not magically give new talents or personalities to people. Rather, they take away a liability so that the person's own natural talents and personality can develop ;v-' normally. ; ' :|V ' ...

It's bearable and not unreasonable. Unfortunately, like the President's "volun­ tary0 wage-and-price guidelines, the heavy hand of the gov* eminent is going to be used to see that we all comply. The plan is to hue 100 to 200 Department of Energy enforcers to see that there are no secret softies among us, and violators will be fined as much as $10,000 a day. In addition, the President and his aides suggested it is our patriotic duty to report ail violators to the appropriate federal officials. All right. So we all want to do our part. But I had been under the impression that national efforts like this were an all-pull-together kind of thing. But snoops and informers? After listening to the President** speech several weeks ago and nodding in agreement that we do have a "crisis of confidence," I went to bed and had a dream. I dreamed I got up Monday morning, adjusted the thermostat, cast a wistful look at my car and resolutely set out for the bus stop. Many of my friends and colleagues did the same. When I arrived at my office, on flic ground level of a converted two-story townhouse in the Northeast section of Washington, it wanned my heart--not to mention the rest of me--to find the thermostat in our building had already been set, by ouf receptionist, at the now legal limit of 78 degrees. In the new dawn of renewed patriotism and determination to swelter it out in the spirit of our pioneer ancestors, those of us on the ground floor forgot all about the laws of physics. Hot air rises. Of course. Even the President can't argue with that, and while 1 and my fellow ground floor workers were reasonably comfortable in our shirt sleeves at the magic 78, directly above us, in a 95 degree rain forest on the second floor, a mutinous, darkly unpatriotic group, including the entire staff of Policy Review and the editor of the Heritage Foundation Forum, plotted an illegal act. As the day wore on, the grumbling ceased and I felt noticeably cooler. I remained innocently unsuspicious how­ ever, even when confronted with the self-satisfied smiles of the people from upstairs, until a loud pounding on the front door brought the only chills of the day to our entire staff. Before anyone realized what was happening, the reception hall was filled with perspiring Department of Energy "cool guys." "" Their spokesman strode up and slapped a sticky paper into my hand. "Violation," it read. "Ten thousand dollar fine." Standing behind them, peering anxiously over their shoulders, was our informer-- a stranger who had stopped in earlier to ask directions (and incidently to cool off)-. I woke up at this point, relieved to find it was only a dream. Then I read the morning paper. >gu I was paranoiac the rest of the day, and no longer so enthusiastic. • • ; As for Big Brother, I hope he swelters along with therest of us. (Feulner is president of The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research organization-) The Quota Fallacy Every month or so some bureaucrat announces that another private or government business or agency has been forced to accept what amounts to quotas in hiring. Such efforts - -designed to give equal opportunity to groups traditionally discriminated against--are commendable in theory, and often in practice. There is no question that all groups should have equal job opportunities-in almost every field. Yet the effort often errs when idealists turn to quotes. The initial assumption is that a business or government agency must even-up its work force to somewhat parallel population statirtics. This is illogical and impossible, in many cases. Why? In th&Hrst place, more women then men still prefer to live their lives, and do their work in the home. One assumes even the most advanced of today's reformers would still admit women make better mothers than men. Also, unfortunately, some groups, because of no fault of their own, have not yet attained an average capability equal to that of the traditional American force. They will, presumably, in time, but that day is in the future. In summary, then, what the government can rightfully and logically insist upon is that hiring not discriminate; and in addition, in some cases, that special efforts be made to find capable, competitive employes from groups which have been traditionally discriminated against. That is all the government has a right to ask. The imposition of a quota system calculated on the total work force is in itself undemo­ cratic, discriminatory and unrealistic. Plumber
