Dear Kr. Lubalin: Our art director showed me your dissection of THEATER, knowing of my longtime interest in words. (I construct crosswords for The Times and, until the department's demise, New York magazine.) Your brash conclusion about the uniqueness of the dissection is indefensible. I offer: PINTOES FOREARM PI FOR PIN FORE PINT OR PINTO ORE RE IN REAR INTO REARM TO EAR TOE A TOES ARM That ill only a quick investigation. I suspect that the limit is more fifteen than ten. If I have a chance I'll look into it further. Beck to the drawing board, Lubalin. Dear Mr. Lubalin: "Seek and ye shall find" was a challenge to my mind. I picked my brain till near confusion and I disproved Lubalin's "Brash Conclusion". here's a seven letter word containing twelve consecutive words: ORATION RATION OR RATIO RAT A AT TI I ION ON 0 Sincerely, Regina DeRise The Reuben H.
