Started thinking of a mystery GAME for 3M (later
tentative name - FOREIGN INTRIGUE or ESPIONAGE) based on
spies not being allowed to visit certain cities.

Dale gave me a clipping she got from Phil, from the Dec. '71 issue of
PLAYBOY. It mentioned (and showed)
NINE OF SWORDS, PITFALLS, & PLATO'S PLIGHT. ('71 Ad Clips.)

On TV (Ch 13, I believe) (David Suskind subbing for Dick Cavett - I believe), there was an excerpt from a program "Woman" which showed EXECUTIVE DESIGN, BAZAAR, MR. PRESIDENT, and a children's game as being anti-feminist.
