WATT WINS 'DUBIOUS' AWARD

By JOAN HANAUER, United Press International

Former Interior Secretary James G. Watt has been named Esquire magazine's 'Dubious Man of the Year,' and is on the cover of the magazine's 'Dubious' awards issue that will be out Wednesday. Watt, who in discussing an advisory group said, 'I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews, and a cripple,' is pictured as black, wearing a yarmulke, high heels and leaning on a crutch.

Dubious Father of the Year went to Ryan O'Neal, who punched his son in the mouth and knocked out two teeth, and Dubious Comeback of The Year to Anita Bryant, for marketing Silent Witness sunglasses with a religious symbol on the earpiece. Diane Sawyer of CBS was cited for calling heart patient Barney Clark 'Barney Miller' and New York newscaster Storm Field was named for dubbing Tennessee Williams 'Tennessee Ernie Williams.'
