Readers Speak Out

Dear Editor. It has come to the attention of the edi-

All letters to the editor are welcome. They must be typewritten and submitted at the anchor office in the basement of Graves Hall by the Wednesday before pub-lication. All letters within the b o u n d s of g o o d taste will b e printed. They must be s igned, but n a m e s will be withheld for g o o d cause. The anchor editorial b o a r d

reserves the right to edit or pos tpone pub-lication for reasons of space. All letter writers will be personal ly contacted by the editor.

Nabokov Novel Reveals a World in Flux Editor's Note: The anchor review this week is written by junior B o b Kieft. He reviews " K i n g , Queen, K n a v e " by Vladimir N a b o k o v , translated b y Dmitri N a b o k o v (McGraw-Hill; $ 5 . 9 5 ) .

HF IS A L O N E there, b e i n g the c r e a t o r , sus ta iner a n d occa-s iona l d e s t r o y e r of the place as well a s its sole g o d , j u d g e a n d point of interest . All tha t exists there does s o at his whim a n d for his p l ea su re ; eve ry aspect of the p lace h a s being f o r the pur-pose, a n d o n l y for the p u r p o s e , of g l o r i f y i n g its c r e a t o r . He exer-cises a n a b s o l u t e a n d e terna l au-thor i ty ove r his c r ea t i on ; there is none bes ide h im, or even below. He is the t rue artist .

N a b o k o v is the a u t h o r of s o m e thir teen nove l s , eight o r i g i n a l l y in R u s s i a n a n d five in Knglish. On the b a s i s of these, he c a n be r a n k e d as o n e of the grea tes t , if not the g rea tes t , stylist wr i t ing p rose t o d a y . He is, a s he will be the first to a d m i t , a u n i q u e p h e n o m e n o n in m o d e r n letters.

EACH OF HIS N O V E L S is a se l f -con ta ined , comple te ly self-c o n s c i o u s little wor ld , created for the ins tance and l ike no o ther wor ld b e f o r e it. Un touched by the h a n d of F r e u d ( " t h e Viennese Q u a c k " ) a n d u n c o n c e r n e d with wha t is h a p p e n i n g to the c o u r s e of the rest of l i t e ra ture , each of these w o r l d s ca res f o r n o t h i n g except its c r ea to r a n d f inds lit-tle, if a n y t h i n g , in teres t ing out-side his pe r son .

Each nove l exists pu re ly a s a re-flection of its a u t h o r and func-t ions a s a p l a y g r o u n d for his wit a n d cynica l c leverness , his r a z o r -s h a r p p o w e r s of o b s e r v a t i o n a n d his a l l - e m b r a c i n g ego . He is the sun of these wor lds , and every tu rn of p r a s e a n d p u n c t u a t i o n m a r k h a s life on ly a s it p a r t a k e s of his g l o r y . N a b o k o v ' s nove l s a r e g i an t , mys t ica l c r y p t o g r a m s which in the end spell out n o ans-wers, on ly the n a m e of the per-p e t r a t o r of the m y s t e r y : N-A-B-O-K-O-V.

The Fool's Buffoon By Dave Allen

Once u p o n a l ime a b o u t a thous-a n d y e a r s a g o , there w a s a k i n g who ruled this p a r t i a l l y h idden city in the midwes t of T h e G r e a t L a n d . Th i s l a n d , in tu rn , w a s ru led by the L o r d G r a n d H i g h I m p e r i a l K i n g of All Th ings , but ou r s t o r y is not a b o u t him.

A N Y H O W , T H I S LESSER k ing ruled his g r e a t city which w a s called C h i c a g o , which is In-d ian fo r " s t i n k i n g s w a m p . " T h e stink in the s w a m p h a d n ' t c h a n g e d much since the k i n g look the l a n d f r o m the Ind i ans , on ly he a d d e d s o m e p e r f u m e to hide the stench.

T h e k i n g w a s a ro ly -po ly Good H u m o r M a n in a s h a r k s k i n suit w h o loved God , Mother and Ir ish po ta toes , but not necessar i ly in that o rde r . G o o d na tu red a s he was , t h o u g h , he worr ied a b o u t his serfs w h o m he guided with a f i r m but f a the r ly h a n d . T o in-sure tha t his l aws were kept a n d his v a s s a l s acted like v a s s a l s s h o u l d act, he h a d in his e m p l o y his R o y a l Mi l i t a ry Palace G u a r d . When the people would s w a y this w a y ( r i g h t ) a n d that way ( left) he wou ld , in his f a t h e r l y way , see that they were set s t r a igh t a g a i n . With his f a the r ly h a n d he wou ld club them in the head a n d knee them in the g r o i n to keep the l aw a n d v e r y little o r d e r , cha rac t e r i s -tic of his l and .

T H I S LAW A N D o r d e r w a s the E s t a b l i s h m e n t , a n d the R o y a l Mil i ta ry Palace G u a r d were there to m a i n t a i n it. On those occa-s ions when his lowest v a s s a l s in their b r o k e n - d o w n thatched hu t s on the o ther s ide of the ox ca r t t r a c k wou ld rebel it w a s m o r e t r o u b l e t h a n he could hand le . So he wou ld send a fleet-footed mes-senger to the G r a n d Imper ia l Wiz-

a r d K i n g of All T h i n g s , w h o would send of his I n t e r -Domain F r e e d o m Protectors to this b a d pa r t of the lesser k i n g ' s l a n d , whe re they wou ld settle the scene in a peaceab le m a n n e r .

But then, even after this law-w a s e s t ab l i shed , a b a d th ing hap -pened in the k i n g ' s city. A b a n d of t r a v e l i n g mins t re l s , jesters, f oo l s a n d cour t b u f f o o n s a r r i v e d in the town s q u a r e to h a v e a Q u a d r e n n i a l F o o l i s h Meeting of D o m a n i n i a l Incompeten t s . Well, news of this meet ing s p r e a d to all c o r n e r s of t h e G r e a t L a n d a n d was met with, in s o m e ins tances , hos-tility. These hosti le a n d rebel l ious people g a t h e r e d toge ther and de-cided to call themselves T h e Hos-tile a n d Rebel l ious C h a n g e People for Real Action, w h e r e u p o n they set ou t fo r the k i n g ' s city to dis-tu rb the Foo l s ' Meeting.

W H E N T H E Y GOT there it was l a te and since they h a d no place to bunk their host i le h e a d s , they a sked the k ing if they could sleep o n his l a w n . T o this he an-swered, No. So the C h a n g e people s t ayed a w a k e all night a n d shout-ed at the Palace G u a r d , w h o im-media te ly , in the w a y their k ing h a d instructed them, bea t them all s o u n d l y on the n o g g i n , which m a d e s o m e of them bleed in b a d ways .

Meanwhi le , the F o o l s ' Meeting was still g o i n g on qu i te foo l i sh ly , as w a s intended by the Most Fool -ish F o o l ' s Buf foon , w h o wan ted to win the Most D o m i n a n t In-c o m p e t e n t A w a r d so h e c o u l d chal-lenge the Lord High New F a c e in a F o o l ' s Race. T o g a i n the title of D o m i n a n t Incompeten t requ i res one to h a v e the fo rce fu lness of jelly, the mind of a f r o g , the per-s o n a l i t y of a leper a n d the face

of an a n g r y snai l . So the Most Foo l i sh F o o l ' s Buf foon knew it w a s in the b a g .

HOWEVER, A BAD l ight was cast on the F o o l s ' Meet ing since m a n y of the people t h r o u g h o u t the l a n d h e a r d of the mos t awful mess in the Pa r t i a l ly H i d d e n City of C h i c a g o . T h e F o o l s were wor-ried, so they pat ted the b leed ing , hostile people on their b l o o d y heads , ended their meet ing , t hanked the k ing for the use of the town s q u a r e a n d went mer-rily (if not c o n f u s e d l y ) on their wa y.

Of course , a s the foo l s went on their w a y they real ized how fool-ishly they acted in f ron t of all the people a n d they were h a p p y for their incompetence . It seemed to them a to ta l ly sens ib le idea to h a v e a foo l i sh meet ing where they did foo l i sh t h ings in f ron t of e v e r y o n e to m a k e e v e r y o n e think they weren ' t rea l ly l a u g h i n g at themselves .

BY T H E WAY, the Most F o o l i s h Buffoon was a w a r d e d the Most D o m i n a n t Incompeten t A w a r d , w h e r e u p o n he set ou t b y himself to fool all the people in the Es-t ab l i shment into t h i n k i n g he w a s a sensible fool . He told them that if he won the F o o l ' s Race he would keep them just a s confused ' a n d in as m u c h l u n a c y as the G r a n d Imper ia l K i n g of All T h i n g s w a s d o i n g .

The K i n g of Par t ia l ly Hidden C h i c a g o went to his m o s t h igh c h a m b e r , where he cried. His only c o n s o l a t i o n w a s that he h a d been given the title of H o n o r a r y F o o l ' s Buf foon by the D o m i n a n t Incom-petent, w h o w a s the first to l a u g h at him.

A f o o l ' s w o r d s a r e o n l y sensi-ble to a n o t h e r foo l ' s e a r s .

Playtex invents the first-day tampon (We took the inside out to show you how different it is.) Outside: it's softer and silky (mo / ca rdboardy) .

Inside: it's so extra abso rben t . . . it even protects on your first day. Your worst day!

In every lab test against the old cardboardy k i n d . . .

the Playtex tampon was always more absorbent . Actually 4 5 % more absorbent on the average than the leading regular tampon.

Because it's different. Actually adjusts to you.

It flowers out. Fluffs out. Designed to protect every inside inch of you. So the chance of a mishap is almost zero! r
