Help! Pleh!

March, 1976

Of all the bad things that can happen to a person (and there are a lot of them, don't I know), one of the most easy to avoid is getting interested in words backward. 1 really hope you won't get into this.What I fear is that you'll notice that Gum is Mug backward, for instance, or that Trams is Smart. I don't want you to start looking at other words this way, like Raps or Reel or Raw--not to speak of War, Leer and Spar. There's a double jeopardy in words like these. They can get you going either...
