NO SMOKING: Placido Do
mingo has replaced Brooke
Shields as the American Lung
Association’s pin-up person.
The new Domingo poster will
be unveiled Monday when the
association holds its first annual
media awards dinner to honor
38 national magazines that do
not accept cigarette advertising.
Domingo, an avid nonsmok
er, will ask diners near him in a
restaurant to stop smoking on a
poster with the slogan, “Smok
ing Spoils Your Performance.”
The American Lung Associa
tion expects to line up sports and
show-biz personalities for future
posters with the same slogan.
NO SUPERWOMAN: Lind
say Wagner, who played an elec
tronic superwoman in “The
Bionic Woman,” was less than
super as a child. She had reading
problems she overcame in her
teens. She recently took time out
from shooting her new televi
sion movie, “I Want to Live,” to
accept an award from the Tik-
vah Institute for childhood
learning disabilities.
Wagner was hailed as this
year’s greatest overcomer by the
group’s founder, Carolyn Bren
ner. Then it was back to work on
her ABC-TV movie, a new ver
sion about the execution of con
victed murderess Barbara Gra
ham. The new script hints at
Graham’s possible innocence.

sing and other industrial uses is
a fairly recent development.
Brown teamed up with Dr.
William J. Oswald, a profesor of
biomedical and environmental
health sciences at the University
of California, to form Microbio
Resources Inc.
“We are now past the de
velopment stage,” Brown said.
“I expect that during 1983 we
will have the first four or five
products stemming from algae
ready for the market.”
Those products include spir-
ulina, a popular protein health
food, beta-carotene and live
algae for use in cleaning sewage
water.
“There are a lot of different
processes that can be de
veloped,” Brown said. “Dr.
Oswald’s research work formed
the technical basis for Microbio’s
entry into the marketplace. Our
first focus is to get the various
algae nutrients on the market
for human consumption.”
“I do not see our approach to
commercial algae products as a
breakthrough as much as (I see
it as) an evolution,” said Brown,
who quit studying dentristy sev
eral years ago to get an MBA
