"The rocks are references to the timeless-nes- s of lives and souls and our memory." Linda Tyler, who is director at Albuquerque's gallery Tamarind Institute, says the exhibition hopes to emphasize commonalities rather than differences; "We wish to make the point that art serves as a connector of sorts between the making of objects and the participation of the viewer. ... The making of art not unlike the creates a experience of illness state of mental intensity from which revelation evolves," Tyler says in the catalog that accompanies the exhibition. The caption for a watercolor by Clinton Adams says he lost his right eye, otherwise viewers couldn't tell. His watercolor on linen. "Ampurias I," is more a celebration of the other eye. "As I began to paint again, I found that the cancer had caused only a delay, not an interruption, in my work," his caption says.

Helen Hardin, a Santa Clara Pueblo artist who died in the 1980s, also is represented. Hardin's acrylic on canvas titled "Last Dance of the Mimbres," echoing traditional tribal design, was provided by her daughter, who also has a work in the show.

Dear Ann Landers: A while back, you printed a letter from the wife of a veterinarian. She said she and her husband were often asked why he didn't become a "real" doc- have never felt better in my life. A chiropractor did for me in six tor. I am currently in a relationship with a man who is a chiropractor, and he, too, has been asked the same question many times. That question irritates him and sends me right up the wall. I have been to many "real" doctors who prescribed medication that cost a fortune and did more harm than good. I also have taken several days off of work and spent a lot of money on a variety of tests only to be told, "There is nothing wrong with you" or "Nothing can be done to help your type of problem." Between the high-tec- h equipment and the insurance company gobbledygook. a person can go crazy. Two years ago, I became a chiropractic patient, and since that time, I have not had to use any prescription medication whatsoever. Also, I Advice Columnist months what "real" doctors could not do in several years. For all those people who are under the impression that chiropractors are not "real" doctors, by definition, a doctor is a person whose profession is to take care of sick people. It isn't written anywhere that in order to be a doctor you must prescribe medicine. Carol in Brooklyn Dear Carol: Chiropractic medicine does have value. Many Word of the Week: people who have had chiropractic treatments swear by them. But, my dear, please be aware that a chiropractor is not a viable substitute for an M.D. If you have a stiff neck or a backache, a chiropractor can be extremely helpful. But for persistent coughing or stomach problems, skin eruptions or a lump in the breast, I would urge you to see an M.D. Dear Ann Landers: Ever since our youngest son went off to col- lege last September, my husband has spent almost all his time around the house stark naked. "Hank" will sit for hours without a stitch of clothing on, reading or looking at TV in the family room. The garage is attached to our house, and when Hank is working on his car, he is naked as a jaybird. Our backyard has an fence, and the only thing Hank wears when he mows the grass is a pair of tennis shoes and socks. I have told him several times that this could be dangerous, but he says, "I know it, but I enjoy the freedom."
