Me Tarzan, You Dane
Apeman meets Hamlet.
 | See that ad across the page? We tried to add “and a little bit Twisted” to all that puffery about the magazine, but the high sheriffs looked at us as if we were a little bit…whatever. (Here’s an idea: let all the Twisted People send in lots of money! Mark it “on behalf of Twisted Titles.” That’ll show them!) On the other hand, when William Lambden ’60 writes to tell us he is using Twisted Titles in his GED classes at a local adult school, it makes us feel almost grown up. Whatever the sheriffs say, send in your large checks and adult titles, changing one and only one letter and adding a snappy underline, to: Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720. The title Title was sent in by the swinging Gene Smith ’34--meaning that you can be 70 years out of Cal and still hold a title. |
