Anagrams

Jaspistos

IN COMPETITION NO. 1851 you were invited to submit anagrams of the full names of famous people.

Except where I have been able to check I take on trust that the famous names used were the full ones, and I take on trust too that the anagrams were made up by you and not plucked from a book. 'I dislike anagrams,' wrote Peter Norman grumpily, and then temporarily stunned me with `Orenthal James Simpson: Spotless hero in a jam, man' — temporarily, because when I came to I discovered there was a superflu- ous 'a'. This, I fear, will only increase Mr Norman's dislike. I was quite pleased with my own attempt at Wilde: 'A girl, all for shallow fin-de-siecle wit', but Tim Hop- kins's, printed below, is better. Someone has just phoned to say that the Spurs man- ager, Ossie Ardiles, transmutes aptly into `Side is a loser'.

Every anagram printed below earns the maker five pounds. The bonus bottle of Isle of Jura Single Malt Scotch whisky goes to D.B. Jenkinson for the most attractive `double'.

(James Kennedy) Thomas Stearns Eliot: He is not a lost master.
