18 TUESDAY - JULY 1972
200TH DAY - 166 DAYS TO COME

To Leonard Willett. He thinks we are in pretty good shape. I
may have to do a little work with my diaries.
To Bernie Lane. Took back the material exhibited at Xerox.
While watching the CHESS match went over the material.
Put most of it downstairs in the two boxes for later
collating. Put the NEW TOWN board back in its box.
Also put the complete PERCEPTION box upstairs, and the SUNKA set in the box Frank Armbruster sent it in.
In Paramus stopped at a large toy store. Saw a game
called SPECULATION from San Diego. Thought that I
had it and confirmed this when I got home.

Two copies of THE BOSS arrived. Not as great as Jules said it was.
POST had an article on CHESS clubs. (Filed in '72 misc.)

Rcd. a telephone call from
{Alice McElhone
{[street address]
{New Canaan, Conn. 06840
{[phone number]
Her brother invented a "feedback" game called
TRIPPPLES which he published himself. Brentano's will
be featuring it in September. Henry Levy
suggested that I might review it, and then got her in touch with
Bob Gellman for my number. Told her I'd be glad to.
She'll mail me a copy. She mentioned college stores and
I told her I'd check with "Campus Scene" for her.
Her brother is now working on a humorous "feedback" GAME.
Omar DeWitt called. He'll come with his wife for supper
Friday.

(cont. from 7/19) [7/20]

delivery of S & T and the TSGs in England Don Turnbull wrote to
me about. Al said to tell Don that we don't have Malcolm Watson's address (he is the new English rep of Simulations).
Also that things were fouled and we're trying to straighten them up.
Ran off five sets of NOUVEAUX JEUX D'ECHES INTERESSANTS. Left
one with Al Nofi. One is for Bill Rawlings. The others I'll keep around.
Ken Hoffman had a set of DODECA BASEBALL to play Friday night.
Intended to copy the dice and run off the other material on
the duplicator but forgot.

Martin Gardner called while I was out. I called him. He is leaving on
vacation and will be away until Aug. 15th. He will be able to
get a mention of THE IMPUZZABLES in the column he discusses
reader's comments on the cube dissection puzzles - actually
two months after the original column.
He rcd. one letter about a program for playing PATTERNS II. Another with game GAME based on sliding blocks, which he
thought was a first. Told him about SQUARE OFF. The one he
