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.
