Called Ken Morgan to see if he wanted to get together today. He has an appointment to get together with a new distri- buter for MOVIE MOGULS. He will contact me next week. MOVIE MOGULS is selling very well. The Motion Picture Relief Fund was very happy to except a percentage of his royalties. They will inform all the colum- nists.

Called Pete Swift about the rules of EL TABLERO DE JESÚS he sent to me. Not in. Supposed to call back, but didn't.

While looking at WHO CAN BEAT NIXON? I noticed that the elec- toral votes for Connecticut and Oklahoma were different than those I used in NOMINATION. If Mary accepts the latter I will have to inform her.

Looked at Arcadia Book Store for the book Claude mentioned (see 3/31). Not there. Owner thinks it was sold but can't re- member exactly what it was.

Bought 1000 blank business cards at store on Park Ave. S. near 23rd St.

At Metropolitan Bookstore on 23rd St. bought 4 copies of AGOG at $1.75 each. They had one more but it was a little dam- aged.

To new Skunk Works on 23rd St. Gave Jim my column for S&T #27. #28 will be due about the middle of May. Took 6 copies of #25, which Jim said was sent to me, but I never rcd. it. It contains the game CENTURION. There is also a review of the game ALESIA, a privately produced game which sells for $6.50. Took #6 & #7 STRATEGY & TACTICS SUPPLEMENT. (cont. on 4/3)
