I had a column, ? Parallel worlds?, that?s what it was called, where I made up miscellaneous facts from all over the world; for instance a shepherd woke up speaking foreign languages. Everything was all right until I wrote that in an Australian harbor- I was quoting from a nonexistent newspaper, a ship had come back from the Bermuda Triangle, a ship that had disappeared 100 years before, with the sailors alive, but mute. What happened next: the propaganda secretary was Constantin Olteanu and a nephew of his, interested in UFOs read this.  Constantin Olteanu asked the censor, Dumitru Avram (who is now in the administration board at the Radio- the right man at the right place), and asked about the newspaper where I had taken that piece of news from. He called Dinu Marin, the chief editor, who said it was all a joke. He said then: Stop doing this, and the column ? Parallel worlds? was forbidden.

 kept a column of correspondence, which I had taken over from Traian Ungureanu, who had emigrated. I made all kinds of competitions that were outside the system. I had a rhyme competition.  It was a conflict between Dinamo and Steaua.  I wanted to make a distich but the second verse was cut. A competition was made for this second verse.  Let?s find some rhymes. There hundreds of suggestions came. The readers understood it was a challenge, in a sort of complicity. This column was eliminated two weeks before the Rivolution.

I want to tell you about the difference between the stupid and the clever. Comrade Otilian Neagoe who is a prefect of Brasov now. He was a chief editor at our magazine and came with the proofs from the party and used to tell ? God, they missed very much, these guys! He cut what they had missed,

The shows with Divertis were many, but what counted was the show after the show, our own shows. I imitated Ceausescu during those times, in a small circle. Everybody came with a friend ? I guarantee for?  At a certain point, there were Ivan Patzaichin, Ovidiu Iuliu Moldovan, Topescu. After the show, we used to gather. Our parties did not have music, dances. They were shows. Improvisations one hundred per cent. For instance: the patriarch of Romania had just died so we came up with the idea, ? let?s give Ceausescu this position?! He?s a supreme leader, a patriarch. And we made a show on this topic, I played Ceausescu and everything was broadcast during the TV -vespers. A group of monks made up of mates from Divertis told slogans. There are some brilliant slogans: ? Scornicesti, Scornicesti / You are our Bethlehem!, ? We convert more atheists/ By working in the 3^rd shift! ? Near bridges and canals/ we build cathedrals?, ? On the crossroad, near the troita, Ceausescu up on the cross?.
