of all the backnumber ''<u>ALBION</u>''s and a subscription from then<br> on. | |||
Refuses to take money. Wants me to send him <u>SLEUTH</u> <br> | |||
and <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> airmail since there is a dock strike <br> | |||
in England - and to bill him (which of course I won't). <br> | |||

<u>Red</u>'s assistant, George called me about my column. In <u>AIRPORT</u> <br> | |||
I mentioned a range from $40,000 to $5,000, which they <br> | |||
found a little strange. Thought about it and called to suggest <br> | |||
he add the word "down" after "$40,000." He'll try to get it <br> | |||
changed but it is already set. <br> | |||
Asked to speak to <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> about <u>Campion</u>'s article. Not <br> | |||

{46 Maxon St. (716-637-4147) <br> | |||

who saw the Xerox exhibit in Rochester. She and her hus- <br> | |||
band, Wayne, have invented a political game which they call <br> | |||
<u>RED, WHITE, AND BLUE</u>. She said it not limited to a presidential <br> | |||
campaign, that it is for adults, and that they have had art work <br> | |||
done on the board and some sample cards. Gave her <u>Felicia</u>'s <br> | |||
name and telephone number and suggested that she call person- <br> | |||
to-person. | |||
Thinking about my game <u>OPPORTUNITY</u><. In the 1968 diary found <br> | |||
a entry on it (2/27/68) using the <u>MANIPULATION</u> board. <br> | |||
This will fit the "gambling" category so I'll hold off and <br> | |||
give the <u>Amberstone</u>s first crack at it. | |||
<u>Claude</u> called twice during evening to talk about the games <br> | |||
