• It was noted 20th-century poet T.S. Eliot who made the following sage observation: “Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.”

• The United States’ first railroad was built in 1809 in Crown Creek, Pa., by a man named Thomas Leiper. It had wooden tracks.

• When the now-classic television show “Gilligan’s Island” first aired in 1964, critics were not impressed. The review published in the San Francisco Chronicle said, “It is difficult to believe that this show was written, directed and produced by adults. It marks a new low in the networks’ estimation of public intelligence.” The show went on to air for three seasons and spurred three TV movie sequels.

• Believing that beards and long hair were too easy for enemies to grab, Alexander the Great ordered his soldiers to shave their faces and heads before going into battle.

• You hear a lot about the isolationism of Switzerland -- the country that’s always neutral in any conflict -- but you might be surprised to learn how serious they are about it. The country’s system of roads is mined in 2,000 places and can be demolished in the space of 10 minutes.

• Are you doing your share? If you’ve had a beer today, you’ve contributed to the approximately 90 million cans of the brew that are consumed by Americans every day.

• When the territory that later became the state of Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867, the cost came out to about 2 cents per acre.

• It’s not clear why, but it seems that fine hair grows faster than coarse hair.

January 19 - 25, 2012

The Daytona 500 almost always produces surprises, but 2011 marked an extreme example.

Trevor Bayne, 20 years old at the time and making his second Sprint Cup start, captured the sport's most pres-tigious event, competing for a team, the Wood Brothers, steeped in history but struggling to stay in business.

But, like many of the Cinderella stories of Daytona, the stunning upset produced no great change. Bayne competed in 16 more races, never finishing higher than 15th. The Wood Brothers were unable to parlay the victory into sponsorship sufficient to allow them to compete full-time again.

A year later, the situation remains about the same for all parties.It was, however, unforgettable. Both Daytona races last season produced first-

time winners, Bayne and David Ragan, who also piloted a Ford to victory in the July race at the 2.5-mile track.

Among other no-table upsets in the Daytona 500 through the years were victo-ries by Tiny Lund in 1963, Mario Andretti in 1967, Pete Hamil-ton in 1970 and

Surprises Typical at Daytona 500Derrike Cope in 1990.

But almost every year, there are surprises near the front.

J o h n n y B e a u c h a m p , who competed only 23 times at NASCAR's top level, finished second in a photo finish to Lee Petty in the very first 500.

A year ago, Carl Edwards, who very nearly won the championship, finished second to Bayne, but the third-place finisher was David Gilliland, who wound up finishing 30th in the Cup standings. Reed Sorenson finished fifth in 2008. Teammates A.J. Allmendinger and Elliott Sadler both finished in the top five behind Matt Kenseth in 2009.

Who wins it this year?Well ... Edwards finished second in both the 500 and the Chase at season's end.

The reigning champion, Tony Stewart, has never won the 500 but has won the July race three times. He is certainly overdue.

Choices for Blocked Leg ArteryDEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 74-year-old male and have been diagnosed with

peripheral artery disease, PAD. I have a complete occlusion of the main artery just above the knee. What, in your opinion, are the chances of getting through the blockage with angioplasty? There is constant soreness in my calf, even at rest. Is that caused by the blockage? Will cilostazol (Pletal) and Crestor possibly dissolve some of the blockage? -- J.C.

ANSWER: Peripheral artery disease, PAD, is also called peripheral vascular disease. It’s an obstruction to the flow of blood through a leg artery. The obstruc-tion is a buildup of cholesterol, fats and various other blood elements. Between the ages of 60 and 65, 4 percent of adults have it, and by the time people reach 80, 20 percent or more are victims of it.

Its chief sign is intermittent claudication, which is pain in leg muscles, quite often the calf muscles, when a person is active. Many can predict almost to a specified number of steps when the pain will arise. Once the person rests, pain usually lasts minutes, but it can take 20 or more minutes to leave. It returns when the person begins to walk again. I can’t say definitely if your constant calf pain is due to PAD; it might be.

Ankle blood pressure is a valuable test for detecting PAD. Normally, the ankle pressure should be close to the arm blood pressure. A lower ankle pressure indicates an obstruction in a leg artery.

Your medicines cilostazol and Crestor won’t completely dissolve the buildup in

your leg artery, but they’ll keep it from growing larger. Crestor might reduce the size somewhat. You can help matters by watching your cholesterol; eating a diet that emphasizes grains, fruits and vegetables; controlling your blood pressure; and controlling your blood sugar if you have diabetes. Walking is an exercise that is most helpful.

Angioplasty is one option for you. It will get through the buildup. It’s the same procedure used to open heart arteries with a balloon-equipped catheter that is threaded to the blockage through a surface artery. The balloon is opened at the obstruction, and often a stent is left in the artery. A stent is a wire device that keeps the artery opened. Surgical replacement of the clogged segment of artery with a graft is another option. The location and extent of disease determine which is the better choice.

The booklet on PAD explains this common condition in detail. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 109W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My boyfriend’s feet sweat terribly.

His socks are wringing wet when he takes his shoes off after running. I have told him to wear cotton socks, and he made the change. I don’t see any improvement. Would a different kind of sock be better? -- H.M.

ANSWER: Acrylic is a better material. It wicks moisture away from the feet. Dusting powders and a change of socks will improve the situation. Have him carry an extra pair with him when he runs. Damp feet invite fungal infections.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will

incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

• On Feb. 3, 1780, in one of the most famous crimes of post-Revolution America, 20-year-old boarder Barnett Davenport commits a mass murder, killing a family of five at their home in rural Connecticut. Until then,

crime was viewed as sinners losing their way. But Davenport's crime caused people to perceive criminals as evil and alien to the rest of society.

• On Feb. 2, 1812, Russians establish Fort Ross on the coast north of San Francisco as a source of growing food. The effort was not successful. American John Sutter bought Fort Ross in 1841 with an unsecured $30,000 note that he never paid.

• On Feb. 1, 1917, Germany returns to the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic as it prepares to attack any and all ships. Two days later, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. Just hours after that, the American liner Housatonic was sunk by a German U-boat.

• On Feb. 4, 1922, the Ford Motor Company acquires the failing luxury automaker Lincoln Motor Company for $8 million. Ford's son Edsel eventually helped to convince his father to drop his famous rule: "You can have any color, as long as it's black."

• On Feb. 5, 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt announces a controversial plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 judges. Critics charged that Roosevelt was trying to neutralize Supreme Court justices hostile to his New Deal. By 1942, all but two of the justices were his appointees.

• Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver, plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently to

clean. Rinse well, and let it shine!

• A great hint from Mary R. of Duluth, Ga.: “If the kids are drawing with felt markers and their hands get covered with ink, don’t worry. Just spray their hands down with hairspray, and then wipe off the ink with a paper towel. Don’t forget to wash their hands afterward!”

• “Dip your toothbrush in baking soda before you add toothpaste when brushing your teeth. You get used to the taste, but the extra scrub really gets your teeth clean, and it’s very inexpensive to use.” -- R.E. in Arizona

• Have clumped-up sugar in the canister? No worries. To keep sugar from hardening, add a slice of bread to the container from time to time, and leave it there a day before removing.

• A reader from Michigan wonders: How can I keep from having “static head,” especially when using a hat? The answer: You probably already have the remedy in your pocket or purse -- a tube of lip balm. Rub some on your palms, then run your palms over your hair.
