also use any color he wishes. Object is to form 3 of a
row of the same color. Rows may go around an edge.
(Not sure if I have all the dope of this.)
TURNING POINT - A variation of REVERSI. The equipment
is made so that pcs. can be flipped in place. THere
is also scoring, the player scoring for each pc. in a turned
line or lines. Each player also has pcs. marked "double"
on their side or "stop", also on their side on the opponent's side. "Double" doubles
the value of a line when it is turned up. (Probably not when
it is placed. "Stop" stops the opponent's turning over when
it turns up. (Fairly complete idea.)
SLIP DISC. Player sets their discs in positions unknown
to the opponent. In turn they pull a peg out which could

Spoke to Gene Belinski, General Manager (200 5th Ave.) I
asked him about 4 IN A ROW. He took my card and said he'd
send me a copy. He said he wasn't happy with the rules
for that game and whether I'd be interested in rewriting
them. O.K.
"Mont-Saint-Johns, Inc." - They are now putting out BLACKS & WHITES.
Katherine Warren, the president, said it was the same game
as the one in PSYCHOLOGY TODAY. (Filed in 1970 Ad Clips.)
She was interested in subscribing to S & T and I told
her I'd bring her a copy on Tuesday.
Tom Atwater called BB during day. Before driving home I tried
to get him at his hotel without success. Called later at night.
He said that he was not able to get to the city till late yester-
day. He had his secretary send me a letter (which I never
