BIEGELMEIER, J.
(concurring specially). Referring to a chart in the opening statement showing special damages plaintiff expects to prove, without argument, is a trial practice to be determined by the trial judge and subject to his control. It should be removed during the trial unless used in the oral argument as approved in the Four-County opinion cited by the court. Treating the court's statement as a cautionary admonition, I agree but *153cannot do so if it is meant to eliminate it. As to plaintiff's closing argument of no mental disorder in plainiff's family, Ex. B and answers on cross-examination of plaintiff supported this statement and was proper. Otherwise, I concur in the opinion.
