<u>Arthur</u> called.
<u>Arthur</u> called. He & <u>Wald</u> are working on <u>THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT</u>  <br>
and <u>CASINO ROYALE</u>, both of which I am also working on.  <br>
Since they are just about finished with the former,  <br>
we agreed that they'll work on that, while I work on  <br>
the latter. (No argument.)
 
<u>Alex Cockburn</u>, who it turns out, is a freelance writer for  <br>
the ''<u>LONDON TIMES</u>'' here for lunch and a long interview.  <br>
After I saw it was running long I started making money  <br>
to add to the set of <u>FIGHT CITY HALL</u> to give to <u>Wexler</u>.  <br>
Gave Alex a copy of <u>SLEUTH</u>, a copy of <u>''AGOG''</u> (which he said  <br>
he'd get the paper to pay for - the full $6.95), one of  <br>
the three sets of rules for <u>GROUP THERAPY</u>, ''<u>S & T</u>'' #32,  <br>
and the rules for <u>TEMPO</u>, <u>ODD OR EVEN</u>, and <u>INTERPLAY</u>.  <br>
He said he was sorry, but he had thrown away the cover  <br>
from the <u>BALI</u> box, but <u>Felicia</u> had said he could keep it.  <br>
His family in Ireland has a collection of books from the 1890's  <br>
and he thinks there are some on games. When he goes back  <br>
he will check and send me any I don't have.  <br>
He contacted the people at the New York ''<u>TIMES</u>'' Magazine  <br>
section. They might be interested in an article on games too.  <br>
He should know in a week or two. (They pay $750 if the  <br>
article is used. $300 if they assign it but don't use it.)  <br>
At Brentano's he saw another psychological game.  <br>
<u>I TRUST YOU IMPLICITLY</u>.  <br>
His address in England  <br>
{<u>Alexander Cockburn</u>  <br>
{[personal address omitted for privacy] [personal phone omitted]  <br>
{London W9, England  <br>
He also gave me a N.Y. address : - [personal address and phone omitted for privacy].
 
Remembered that in the past week or so someone - I can't  <br>
remember who - mentioned <u>COUP D'ÉTAT</u>. It is a game  <br>
based on taking over a city, with the objective of occupying  <br>
various key points. (It was <u>Omar DeWitt</u> - see 7/21)  <br>
