Reading about "The Fall of the Philippines" for MACARTHUR. Getting
some ideas for changes in the basic game system.
Didn't get a call from Cirker of Dover Publications or from Phil
Orbanes.
Call from Claude. He is meeting Wald at Macy's Thursday afternoon,
to discuss toys, rather than games. Said I'd like to make it
but just afford to take the time.
Claude suggested giving Raymond PATTON as an x'mas present.
