LX Here’s more fun with mirrors
THIS WEEK hat baan getting the
darnedest mail ever since the Presi
dential Ejection. About that time we
printed a little piece predicting that
the "Looking-Glass Writers of Amer
ica” would support Dick Nixon be
cause he possessed that rare treasure,
a looking-glass name. Hold this page
upside-down In front of a mirror and
you’ll find that all the words on the
page are complete gibberish except
Mr. Nixon’s name itself:
DICK NIXON
Well, apparently the Looking-Glass
Writers’ vote was not enough to carry
the day. Maybe they were all so busy
writing to This Week that they forgot
to go to the polls. Some of the letters
we received were even addressed in
mirror-writing.
Most fascinating of all Has a letter
from Mrs. John W. Rodger, of St.
Louis, who said she was born left
handed and finds it convenient to
write upside-down, from left to right.
What’s more, she also writes right-

at the same time! "Because of this,”
she states, "I have few correspondents
and grow lonely at times.”
All of which reminds us of another
looking-glass game that you can play
at home with a small mirror and the
Sunday newspaper or a magazine:
Find a full-face photo of some person
ality, and holding the mirror at right
angles to the page, place mirror’s edge

on the center of the face. It will show
you a new face made up of two left
sides (or right sides) and the effect is
pretty amazing. It seems like a differ
ent person, entirely.
What’s the answer to _ /
this strange little phe
nomenon? ’’You’ll (- •jr /
get all kinds of expla- *'• \
nations,” says Dr. \ ’ Jjk )
Donald B. Douglas, a \—(
leading New York
neurologist, "but per
haps the simplest way of putting it is
that the average person is ’right-faced’
as well as righthanded. His right
eye is the dominant of the two, he
chews on the right side, and tends to
use the right side more strenuously
for facial expressions, such as smiling,
scowling. Thus the right side is more
developed in appearance and the left
side blander.”
Below are some pictures of famous
personalities as they look when their
faces are "mirrorized." Can you guess
who they are? CHABLIS RICI
