Area seminars set to help caregivers the fuel that propelled Hoover. Although the absence of known female lovers made him an easy target of rumors of homosexuality, as did his close and largely unexplained relationship with FBI Assistant Director Clyde Tol-son, it is much more likely that his sexuality was sublimated in the quest for unending dominance.

The FBI's proper law enforcement activities over the years increasingly took second place to others surveillances, buggings and wiretaps that were questionable or illegal. But Hoover cleverly eluded the danger posed by questions asked of him from time to time about his agency's activities. For instance, when appearing before the congressional authorities responsible for funding the FBI, Hoover would have the illegal wiretaps in progress disconnected for the day of the hearing. Thus, to any question regarding how many tappings the FBI was making, he could truthfully answer that no such tappings your wlll7 AttorMy at Law Locatad PhotM AP Review J.

By Curt Gentry. Norton. 846 Pages. $29.95. When you finish reading this lengthy, decidedly unfriendly biography of J.

Edgar Hoover, FBI director for 48 years until his death in 1972, you are likely to be overcome- with revulsion, fear and an odd sense of relief. Revulsion, because Hoover was allowed to build himself a colossal personal empire within the government that went virtually unchallenged until it was too late, and was free of the checks and balances which, for better rather than for worse, have made this country what it is. One must shudder at the helplessness of the person who found himself at odds with an organization as powerful as the FBI; and also realize that it is imperative to oppose any attempt to shortcut legal process in the name of law and order, as Hoover often did and got away with. The truth of the axiom that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" leaps at us from the pages of Curt Gentry's book. By the time he died, Hoover's stewardship of the FBI was being abundantly if belatedly scrutinized.

He was spared an ignominious downfall and removal, which eventually would have been his fate. Power and the craving of still more power seems to have been Helpful hint If you fry fish, some flavor will remain in the oil and affect the flavor of other things you fry. 1 For best results, store fish-frying oil separately and use it only for fish.

Sometimes high expectations in trying to provide flawless care, be an ideal spouse and parent, hold down a job, and keep a spotless hand can get out of hand, LaGroone said.

"These feelings or expectations can lead to guilt or anger that is either overt or repressed, and, in some cases, might lead to adult abuse." The seminar is one of numerous programs offered by the agency to serve older adults and their families. "This seminar will respond to one of America's most prevalent problems, in-home care for chronically ill individuals," LaGroone said. A native of Ninety Six, LaGroone is a graduate of Lander College with a B.S. degree in sociology with certification in gerontology.

"Strings Or Attached" NEXT DOOITOTIOHHI OBW HAMPTON PLACE SHOPPING CENTER GREENWOOD, S.C 2964 EVERYTHING HAS A IKING ATTACHED' "WE DELIVER ANYWHERE" WE'VE MOVED INTO YOUR HEART, GREENWOOD The first of two area seminars to assist those who are caring for disabled elderly persons or people with chronic health problems, sponsored by the Department of Social Services, will be conducted at the Piedmont Agency on Aging on Bailey Circle from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday.

Willie LaGroone, agency social services coordinator, will present a program on "Care for the Caregiver" with the objective of planning for long term care. She lead a similar seminar at the Senior Center in Abbeville at 7 p.m. Oct. 29. LaGroone said the seminar will concentrate on issues associated with caregiving including common frustrations, stress, guilt, and resentment.

"Adults, mostly women, who find themselves cast in the role of caregiver are sometimes subject to unrealistic or conflicting feelings." LaGroone said. "Usually they feel a responsibility to care for their older relative and they who was pledged only because she was a triple "legacy." But guilt-ridden Ginger has become fat and unhappy, realizing that Paul married her only for her money; Cecie is a widow burdened with the care of her mother-in-law; and Fig, reinvented thanks to plastic surgery, is a world-famous romance novelist. And Kate, happily married to an architect, finds the past overwhelming as Paul re-enters the picture. The writing is powerful, and descriptions of sand, sea and sky present a feast to be savored word by word. So Siddons, author of "King's Oak" and "Peachtree Road," can be forgiven for the were taking place "at this time." The tappings were resumed as soon as the hearings concluded.

Hoover was also a master manipulator of statistics, and could make data gathered by the FBI serve any immediate interest. Although he was not an embezzler and the pursuit of riches was clearly not his goal, Hoover always lived very well, and after his death it became known that many appointments in his Washington home had been made at the expense of the taxpayer. Readers of Gentry's book may find, and with good reason, that the FBI's legitimate triumphs have not been dwelled upon as much as its blunders and cover-ups. But the importance of this book is that is sounds an alarm bell: Democracy is the best form of government, yet it is imperfect and frail; it can be weakened, undermined and endangered in many ways; and the permanence of government officials in certain jobs for open-ended periods is a threat to the health and propriety of the system.

In "Outer Banks" by Anne Rivers Siddons, it's nostalgia time back at the Nags Head, N.C, beach house where they had spent school vacations together. Kate, now a successful interior designer, moves the story back and forth, from past to present, as she recounts events leading up to the reunion. Amid toasts and laughter, the quartet recall their days as Tri Omegas at a Southern school. There's Cecie, Kate's poetry-sharing best friend; Ginger, everyone's friend until she married Paul Sibley, the love of Kate's young life; and Fig, unattractive diary-keeping misfit For all your decorating needs Greenwood Decorating Center has just enlarged its store.
