From Sherrie Saint John:
Stefan Fatsis just did an interview on NPR from Melbourne (he is the NPR Friday sports correspondent). Along with a smooth discussion of the dual dictionaries, he mentioned a play by Jim Geary: UNLUMINED where the UM was already on the board.This was the second SCRABBLE-related segment that Stefan has done on NPR. The first came just after the 1998 National SCRABBLE Championships in Chicago.
go Stefan!
