Call from Ed Wallace (I think that was his name) of the
DAILY NEWS. He was, as part of his "housekeeping" duties,

they told him to check with Mike.

description of the material, for a game PAR GOLF. (The
rules are not at all clear.)
Joel is very much interested in GOLF. He has an action
game that Phil figures would have to retail for $100.
Since Phil had an article in it, I gave him the copy of
MOVES #5 I took from Jim D.
We went over the outline of a letter I will send to Joel
with my impressions of REALM. Phil will call me tomorrow
and I'll read him the final letter.
Phil played all the REALM variations yesterday with Von
Zedwitz (spelling?) and he likes them. But Phil still
wants to get Joel convinced.
