Saturday 5 November 1966
309th day - 56 days to come
Picked up a letter from Haar Hoolim at the post office.
Finished a board and other equipment for OPERATION SEARCH. Played
a game with BB, Marylin, & Dave and a second which we called
because of distractions. Worked almost perfectly the first time.
Only had to change the rule that a player couldn't enter a
space occuppied [SIC] by an opponent, and add two additional roads.
Played it again at night with Phil & Annette. Annette won and
they liked it very much.
(cont. from 11/6) [11/8]
[Transcriber's note - the 11/8 appears to be a revision and is written in red colored pencil.]
At F.A.O. Schwartz & Riis Bros. did not see anything new.
At Bloomingdale's saw TRICON. This consisted of a
considerable number of differently shaped wooden pieces.
The instructions are in German and state that it is
not a game per se, but rather an amusement and a
means for studying geometric relationships.
Rcd. another long letter from Haar Hoolim.
Rcd. a letter from Mayor Lindsay saying he hadn't
rcd. a copy of FUTURE yet and that he couldn't
help me. (Filed in "individuals" folder.)
At office making new tracing for clue sheets for
OPERATION SEARCH.
Spoke to Arthur, then Claude. Nothing in particular new.
Bill Bentzin's secretary called. He is out of town but
she will send the information for publicity on me.
