Delectations

Now! The first Delectations Competition! A recent survey laments the difficulty of starting dinner table conversations with uncommunicative partners. Competitors are invited to submit no less than two entries on dinner party starters. No money, no politics, no religion, but harmless remarks along the lines of: “Do you like string?” “Do you really believe in sociology?” “Which end of the bath do you sit in?” “If you had to make a final choice, which would you take, sex or books?” Entries will be judged by Bill Buckley, Priscilla Buckley, Chris Simonds and myself. Three books will be awarded as First, Second and Booby Prizes, and they all will be suitably inscribed by the judges. Results will be divulged in a later issue. Please send entries to Competition, c/o Nika Hazelton, national review, 150 East 35 Street, New York, N.Y. 10016. Entries must be postmarked by December 20.
