Book Review

GameEnthusiast
WritesBook
David L. Silverman invented
his firsl game at the age of
seven in order lo arouse his
grandfather's
waning
inlerest
following a prolonges losing
streak at casino. Since that
time Silverman's passion for
games and puzzles has been
consuming. Il culminates today
with
the
publicalion
of
a
fascinating book: Your Move -•
A Treasury
of 100
decisions
problems designed to challenge
your
insight
(McGraw-Hill,
$6.95).
"The
objective
of
this
book is lo e n t e r t a i n , "
the
author i n d i c a t e s . " A n y instruction you derive from it is unint e n d e d . " The book succeeds
admirably, at least in failing to
provide a shred of instruction.
The first part of the volume,
illustrated by Don C. Oka,
c o n s i s t s of 80 game problems
with the solutions printed on
the reverse side - the author
hales lo thumb through a puzzle
book in quest of a solution,
with the risk of inadvertently
reading the solution to a problem
nol yet attempted. For example:
"Driving
in
unfamiliar
territory, you stop to gel directions al a large house with a
fenced-in lawn. Absent-mindedly
you neglect a sign al the gate
which says BEWARE O F DOG.
You are half way lo the house
when you suddenly see a
vicious-looking
Doberman
Pinscher streaking toward you
with teeth bared. You have
neither weapon nor protective
clothing such as a jacket with
which lo defend yourself. And
you haven't a chance of getting
back to the gale in lime. Your
move!"
(Appropriately, this s i l u a lion occurs in a s e c t i o n titled,
" L i f e Games.")
The second part of the
book
contains
20
unsolved
games - a mine of intriguing
research problems that serious
gamesters may find even more
entertaining than the solved
problems.
The
problems,
in
both
sections, involve challenging
"moment of truth" decisions
in games of chance, games of
skill, games conventional, unconventional, serious or bizarre.
Silverman is a consulting
mathematician at Hughes Aircraft's Space Systems Division,
i s instructor at the UCLA

Topic
Revealed
The realities of the Viet Nam
war and the military role of the
United States in the world will
be the subject of a lecture by
General Maxwell D. Taylor Wednesday evening al 8:15 p.m. in
Price Auditorium. His appearence

to South Viet Nam and president
of the Institute for Defense

chairman of President Nixon's
Foreign Relations Advisory Board.
In his book. The Uricertain
Trumpet, General Taylor points
out the advantages of a "flexible
response"
to aggression
as
opposed lo a "massive retalia t i o n . " In a report to the Senate
Foreign
Relations
Committee,
Taylor quoted the Greek historian,
Polybius: " I t is not the purpose
of war to annihilate those who
provoke it, but to cause them 10
mend their w a y s . " Thus, Taylor
may be described as a devish
hawk.
Al the present time. General
Taylor is working on hisMemoirs
which he hopes to publish ii the
near future. He is one of the most
sought after speakers in America
today because of his unique
ability to establish a warm rapport will all kinds of a u d i e n c e s .

People Making
Peace
The purpose of the Mayday
activities i s Tor the people of
the United States of America
and Vietnam to begin the implementation of the P e o p l e ' s
P e a c e Treaty...the people are
making
peace.
Non-violent
civil disobedience tactics will
be aimed at closing down the
government a g e n c i e s in Washington D. C. between May first
and fifth. The Mayday committee
wants to gain support for the
Treaty and not bring about a
hostile reaction to there t a c t i c s ,
violence toward people or property wil! nol be employed or
tolerated.
A recurrance of the police
riot which took place in Chicago
is most unlikely a s tong as the
peace is kept, s i n c e the police
forces in and around the cily
of Washington D. C , are some
of the most disciplined in the
country.
There are going to be G.I.'s
performing police duties, but
mosl of them support the Mayday
actions and many are working
directly wilh them.
"May Day activities have
been organized into regions our region is Central Pennsylvania, which has been expanded
lo include all of Pennsylvania,
except the Pittsburgh
area.
We are working with Minnesota,
Wisccnsin, and Indiana. Our
target for t h e civil disobediance

C cnstitution and Pennsylvania

target has only recently been
