Dear Ann Landers: | met a very attractive guy about a.
month ago. He was Introduced to me by my cousin. We

are all 17 years of age. Something happened last

Saturday night that just about blew my mind. Please tell

me what to do.

This cousin, her steady, the attractive guy (I'll call
him Phil) and | went to. a movie. Right In the middle of a
sad scene, when It was.so quiet in the theatre you could
hear a pin drop, Phil stands up and yells out some of the
dirtiest words I've ever heard. All the while he fs.
throwing hls'arms around like a crazy man. I-trled to get
him to sit down and be quiet, but he pald no attention to
me.

In no time at all the manager of the theatre came
over and told Phil we would have to leave. | didn't want
Phil to go alone, because § was afraid he was off his
rocker — so we all left together. When wa were walking
to the parking lot, Phil sald he didn't feel well and
wanted to go home. So, we took him home, and | haven't
heard from him since.

Please, Ann, tell me what this Is all about.

Deat Denver: My guess fs that Phil jhas Tourette
syndrome. This illness Is often misdiagnosed as an
emotional problem. We now know..It Is hereditary
disorder Involving the central nervous system. Tour-
ette’s usually begins between the ages of two and 14.
The patient blinks his eyes, makes odd faces, jerks his
head and shoulders and utters sounds {or says words)
that are most Inappropriate. These acts are Involuntary
and cannot be controlled. is

David Cohen, M.D., and Kenneth K. Kidd,-PhD,:
of Yale University School of. Medicine, were my
consultants.in this matter. The doctors suggested that
years of emotional suffering, school problems and
economic hardship might be avoided If proper diagnosis
is made. Anyone interested In further Information should

PHILADELPHIA (AP)

— Certain health risks that
have been linked to the use of
birth control pills may be
exaggerated, results of a
10-year study conducted by
the Kaiser-Permanente Med-
ical Centre indicate.

“The main conclusion
from this study is that in a
U.S. population of, young,
adult, healthy, white, mid-

dle-class women, the risks of.

Qc (oral contraceptives) are
negligible,” Dr. Savitri Ram-
charan, the project's re-
search director, said today in
disclosing the results at a
symposium at the University
of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine.

The study, conducted in
Walnut Creek, Calif., reports
on the major forms of disease
and the causes of death in a

” group of 16,638 women, ages

18 through 54, who. were
studied between 1968 and
1977. The project, paid for by
the U.S. National Institutes
of Health, was recommended
by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's Advisory
Committee on Obstetrics and
Gynecology in 1967.

the emphasis is placed on

4-Hers, however, are not
