...that way. BRUCE R. HINSON Norman, Okla. Snooks Sirs: I have noticed your interest in names which can be spelled forward and backward, and now I appeal to your fairness and squareness to print the truth about a name (my name) which can only be spelled forward, but is none the less not always appreciated at its true importance : Snook.
