Actually, it was called Mathematical Games.  I bring this up not to 
nitpick, but to highlight the lovely fact that when Douglas Hofstadter 
took it over for a period, he anagrammed it to come up with a terrific 
new title, Metamagical Themas.  The Metamagical Themas columns are 
collected in a book by the same name, which I highly recommend.
