Rcd. a letter from Tom Shaw. He is sending me copies of GETTYSBURG

how EXECUTIVE DECISION was doing (he called it [illegible crossed out]
"Business Executive") since he didn't see it promoted with
other 3M games.

Publications. He sent a few notes on an alternate method

Al told me about a game called GUNFIGHT AT O.K. CORRAL which had
been sent to them. They loved it, but decided that it wasn't
