| W hen Chung Fung ’71 starts laughing out loud for no apparent reason, his wife Carolyn mutters: “There it goes again.” “It,” unfortunately, is an affliction Chung shares with far too many Californians: the irrepressible urge to come up with twisted titles. A decade ago, Chung went into business as a Chinese herbalist, and now practices in San Jose. Does Chinese medicine have a cure for the twisted? “Not that I’ve found so far,” says Chung. Whatever ails you, send those twisted titles (of a book, movie, saying, whatever), changing one letter only and adding a snappy underline, to Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720. The Title title is from the afflicted herbalist Chung Fung ’71. |
