PARLOR GAME
TV's Steve Allen, sometime author (FOURTEEN FOR TONIGHT), was merely trying to enliven an Authors' League of America dinner, but he planted the germ seed of a new lazy man's parlor game when he introduced Allen's Scrambled Book List. Some samples:
THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT--by General Robert E. Lee
You CAN'T Go HOME AGAIN--by Juan Peron
OF TfME AND THE RIVER by Willie
Sutton
THE BAD SEED--by Luther Burbank
SOMETHING OF VALUE--by Bobo Rockefeller
THE ORGANIZATION MAN--by Carmine De Sapio
THE DAY THE MONEY STOPPED--by Charles Van Doren
Bus STOP--by Mike Quill
From Allen's start it is only a short leap to NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND, by Benny Hooper Jr., THE POWER ELITE, by Georgy Malenkov, A CERTAIN SMILE, by Leonardo da Vinci, or THE SUN ALSO RISES, by Aly (MY SON, MY SON! Khan.
It could go on all night.
