...Winks" and "Chutes and Ladders." Child World promotes only a few games, like "Scrabble," "Parcheesi" and "Trouble"; the first two are presented both in traditional form and in "deluxe editions."

But last week there he was, with Terence Cardinal Cooke, speaking in New York City's Roman Catholic landmark. A smiling, maroon-robed holy man, the Dalai Lama is regarded by millions of Tibetans as the incarnation of one of the most powerful and beloved Buddhist divinities...
