48TH DAY - 318 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. a letter from Mike Abrams about BLOCK 'N SCORE. (No answer
rq'd until I get a copy from Dr. Shirts.)
Rcd. a card from Phil Cohen. Mentioned BLUE & GRAY, KNIGHT CHARGE,
KNIGHT CHASE, CYLINDRICAL REVERSI, BOUNDARY, FOUR-SCORE, LOA,
AGOG, and a column he is writing for NOST-ALGIA.

To offices of LIFESTYLE Magazine. Gave the material (see 2/11
& 2/15) to Nancy Weber. Also took a reprint copy of AGOG with
me and showed it to Nancy. She said she'd be thrilled to have
one so I left it with her. She'll show my material to others in
the staff, who aren't convinced about a Game Column, and get
back to me.

To Bob Gellman at his office and went over the slides he rcd.
from Martine, and elsewhere. Then went to Willoughbys on 32nd St. to
get some more. Still didn't have all we needed. He wanted me
to go to Macy's but I told him I didn't have the time.
While at his office I called the Skunk Works and spoke to Jim D.
My press card won't be ready so they'll give me a letter.
Asked if they had any plans for a "Mafia" GAME (see 12/29/71).
There is a "Gangster" GAME in the talking stage, and
there is always the possibility of one about the "Mafia".
Bob asked to speak to Jim. Then, after saying hello, he said
to me "You don't have any war games, do you?" I told him
I did and he stalled Jim. He mentioned wanting to do a
war GAME but we got sidetracked and didn't get back
to it.
Bob said he would call me tomorrow to check on the slides we
still needed, from the records I have been keeping.

To Earl Perel's and Claude came after. Earl and I played a complete
"set" of Claude's UPSTAGE. The board was divided
into two areas as shown and "spots" of six colors are marked (colors may not be exactly as shown)
in th positions shown.
