Message:: [QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 907963, member: 16269"]Here's a reference to it: From The MAD World of William M. Gaines,  page 191 or 171: "The magazine has twice  run afoul of the F.B.I., the first time after running an Al Meglin  article on board games. One of the games was called 'Draft Dodger' and  offered players an official draft-dodger card by writing 'to J. Edgar  Hoover.' After Hoover's office was deluged with mail, two clean-cut,  most polite, most insistent F.B.I. men suggested that Mad strive to  avoid adding to the bureau's problems. The second visit from the F.B.I.  occurred after Mad printed a three-dollar bill. This bill, however, was  proving effective when inserted in money-changing machines in Las  Vegas." The Bufiles do not reference the three-dollar bill  incident.

Note: Al  Meglin is Nick Meglin's brother.  [/QUOTE]
