Was it something we said? Our mailbag after the last issue was overflowing with outrage about the illustrated title “Hail to the Thief” (something about W. stealing a recent election). Former ASUC president Dick Bond ’46 growled that this reminded him of “the vast amount of left-wingers that Berkeley has unleashed on the nation,” and came up with his own underline: “Clinton leaves White (Animal) House.” Peter Skarpelos ’89, M.S. ’93, suggested “Clinton opens a used furniture store.” Al Beltrami ’55, M.A. ’57, sent in this one about Clinton: “Jail to the Chief.” But Al later lamented and said, in effect, two wrongs don’t make a right, and let’s call the whole thing off. Which we will do, while calling on you to send your titles, stolen or not, to Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720 , changing one letter only and adding that non-political underline. Our title Title comes from the electric Nan Sparrow ’47.

Our hearts are heavy as we report the death, February 20, of the king of Twisted Titles, Jim Blewer ’41. We shall not soon see his like. Please see In Memoriam. |
