Perhaps the basic reason
President Kennedy is suffering
from a strained back is that
"the good Lord made the back
for quadrupeds and not for BIZ

ist said today.
He told a reporter that in the
evolutionary process, through
which man assumed an erect
position and began walking on
two legs, everything was COM

"Too much strain has. been
placed on the human back for
the position that man has as
sumed," declared the doctor,
who asked to remain anony-

THE human spine," he said,
"has an angle or curve to it
that makes it susceptible to
strain because OF mans erect
position. The vertebrae in
quadrupeds are evenly balanced
due to the way they carry their
weight on four legs"
A "lumbosacral strain" such
as Mr.. Kennedy suffered can
occur during such activities as

The doctor added:
I'm a fairly regular golfer
myself, but one day, when I
got up to the fifth hole, I took
a good poke at the ball-and I
felt as though I had been
STABBED with a knife in my back.
I could barely get to my car,

pressure thus came along two
river valleys descending from
