Damnation of Adam Blessing (1961)
“The circle i dot: this person resorts to attention-getting devices.
2. A break in the lower section of the letters a & o: dishonesty.
3. t bar slants downward: arrogance and cruelty.
FROM ADAM BLESSING’S JOURNAL On Saturday Adam did not open The Mart. The night before, near midnight, Charity Cadwallader called him. She agreed to meet Adam for cocktails and dinner. The call so elated Adam that he broke open a bottle of Billy’s Nuits Saint-Georges. He sat drinking the wine until four in the morni...ng. His mind seemed to swell with new ideas. He invented a game for adults that would teach them the calorie count in all foods. The winning of the game would depend partly on their knowledge of calories, partly on their knowledge of other nutritional information, and partly on chance. Adam believed it would sweep the country much as Monopoly had in the years after the depression, when money was foremost in people’s mind. Health was the new concern. Adam called his game DO OR DIET. It was a penalty to DIET, a point to DO.MoreLess
