Another way of playing would be to have players draw a

With the same equipment ELECTION CHESS can be played.
A large number of games with different grades of
difficulty can be worked out.
Bill Bentzin called. FORBES MAGAZINE wanted to feature
a business type game in their Jan. 1 edition. Bill picked ACQUIRE.
They will take pictures of businessmen playing it tomorrow.
Bill said that he had directed his secretary to send me
a copy of MR. PRESIDENT. He'll check with her to see if it was
sent.
Finished looking thru the patents.
