Rcd. a thank you letter from Warren Buell.
Rcd. 3 issues of INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER and

Thought of the name OVER 'N OVER for my turning over

Made a set of pieces by gluing yellow chips to green
chips.

it probably would fit best as an "Ed-U-Playtional" if
that line was being continued. He agreed, but it's
not.
Called Eve Anchincloss of BOOK WORLD. The article is out al-
ready and she will send me 12. She thought it was
quite interesting. She didn't read the original but thinks
it may have been cut in editing. She hopes I won't
be upset. We discussed making it a yearly feature.
If I don't hear from her by the beginning of October
next year I'm to call her.
In LIVE WIRE a player could ruin the game by pulling
back all his pieces and line them up in a solid
wall. Thought of a rule prohibiting having more than
4 of them in any one row.
In the "Post" "Bloomingdale's" had an ad for
THINKING MAN'S FOOTBALL, FACTS IN FIVE, & MONAD. They
goofed on the latter saying - "Monad is a fascinating
game of skill which requires advance planning as players attempt
to buy, sell, and trade their way to the top." (Filed in 1970 Ad
Clips.)
