REAL-LIFE FICTION When we first read

suspect that Robert NJ. Yoder had dipped
into his own domestic experience for part of
his plot But that's just what he did.
In his fiction story MIR. Yoder's hero is
allergc to exercise $50 is Mr.. Yoder). The
heroine hates breakfast $50 does Mrs Yoder).
To confuse matters, the hero (also Mr..
Yoder) firmly believes in hearty breakfasts
for wives, while the heroine (also Mrs Yoder)
prescribes plenty of exercise for husbands.
How Mr.. Yoder hctionally dissolves this
impasse makes an interesting tale. Equally
interesting to us, though. would be the true
story of the Yoders' real-life solution, if any.
Just to stress how Mr.. Yoder feels about
exercise, we'd like to quote from letter we
