Talk about a lingering death!

According to the Hasbro corporate history, George Parker — the founder of Parker Bros. — took more time to die than your average opera character:

"Parker's death came around the time when his company introduced three of the most successful board games in their history -- SORRY!® (1934), CLUE® (1949), and RISK® (1959)."

...and I'd also like to know why, if Mille Bornes is still popular today, they're no longer making it.
