257th day - 108 days to come

To Skunk Works. Jim Dunnigan there.
I asked about buying some dice from him. They buy them by
the boxes (thousands in a box) and cost them about 1 [cent] each.
He gave me 101 (I had asked for 100) and wouldn't take any
money.
I took 6 copies of a pr game NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO which
he is using for promotion, giving a free copy to all new sub-
scribers to acquaint them with simulations. I'll bring 5 of
them to Europe.
Took 4 copies of S&T. * 28.
Told Jim of Dave Levine's and Henry Schmeltzer's answers to F the SLEUTH problem, He'll give the prize to Henny Schmeltzer and let Dave pick up a copy of KURSK himself (duplicate prises) His ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II will be out by A.H by the time I come back from Europe. I'll pick up a copy and probably will include it in man. BOOK WORLD piece.

Each player gets a pack of clothes cards. In turn shoot at target and haver auticle of clothing hit when your deck is gone you can start using your own clothes, Rough idea.) Ad Sheet put in 1971 ad clips folder Felicia spoke to Harvey Gardner. Due to some people leaving he is now one of the top men at Fawcett. He is quite confident that they will go with AGOG.
