Pat Robertson’s presidential campaign slogan
 Who says that men are more twisted than women? What about the prolific and talented Nan Sparrow ’47? A cartoonist, humorist, and “word freak,” Nan said she “immediately glommed onto” Twisted Titles when she first saw the feature a few years ago. “I thought right away of a couple of twisted titles and sent them in, and they were published,” she says with some pride from her home in Alameda. She then adds, a bit sternly: “I’ve also sent some in that I thought were very clever, but they weren’t published.” When does she do her best work? “Usually in the middle of the night, when I lie there awake.” Whenever you’re awake, send us your best work, changing only one letter (of a book, movie, play, saying) and adding a snappy underline, to “Twisted Titles,” California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720. The Title
title is from the politically astute Jerome Fishkin ’65.
