PERSONALITIES

It's a long way from being married to the late, eccentric multimillionaire Howard Hughes to sleeping on a Washington heating grate in support of the homeless. But that's where it may be possible to see actress Terry Moore, one of the film beauties of the 1950s. Moore, who has said she married Hughes in 1949, is to be here as part of Tuesday night's "Grate American Sleep-Out" being organized by actor Martin Sheen and advocate for the homeless Mitch Snyder.

Also scheduled to participate in the sleep-out are Mayor Marion Barry, actor Dennis Quaid, House Majority Whip Tony Coelho, Rep. Joseph Kennedy II and his wife Sheila, and Reps. Gary Ackerman, Mike Lowry, Esteban Edward Torres and Richard Lehman.

Warhol and Chiropractic

Pop artist Andy Warhol, who died of a heart attack Feb. 21, had complained of a sharp pain and went to a chiropractor to have his ailing gallbladder massaged. Warhol was known to be terrified of hospitals. The condition worsened, necessitating surgery to remove the organ, and he died the following day. His doctors did not link the chiropractic treatment to the death of the 58-year-old artist, but they sharply criticized the massage.

Warhol's physician of 27 years, Dr. Denton Cox, said that "It is inappropriate in the extreme for a nonprofessional to do it. And a professional person would not have done it." When surgeons removed the gallbladder, it was found to be so diseased it was gangrenous. Organ massage is not widely accepted by chiropractors, and Louis Sportelli, who is a board member of the American Chiropractic Association, said it is "ridiculous" to connect Warhol's death with the organ massage.
