Books: 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
