Helpful Hints. The game, produced by Psychology Today Games (an off shoot of the magazine) now on sale ($5.95) at major department stores, was developed at the University of California at Davis by Psychology Department Chairman Robert Sommer. It was conceived as a painless way for middle-class whites to experience-and understand-the frustrations of blacks.

...from the front. Ring Lardner Jr.'s overlapping Catch-22-caliber scenes devour congruity as war devours youth. In the abbatoir of the operating room a surgeon saws off a leg while he begs a nurse to scratch his nose. The unit's greatest nurse chaser, Dentist Painless Waldowski, decides that Don Juanism is a cover-up for homosexuality. Better never than latent, he decides after a nontumescent night, and instantly opts for the Right Thing: suicide...
