Only Some Oil Needed

Only Some Oil Needed

Sir:

Your article (Time, April l) concerning the current telephone booth packing contests was wrong when it claimed the record for America. Recently, graduates of the Calislhenics class of the Kruschovgrad Institute of Technology, succeeded in placing 36 of their number in a standard size telephone booth. This proves the supremacy of Soviet education.

Sir:

Re those handsome brutes in your April 1 story, you just promise that next time you find 25 handsome men packed in a box, you will send them up to little old me, C.O.D.

Sir:

These phone booth packers—why not pour oil over them and sell them to America as canned meat. We could use the dollars.
