News that Lou Zocchi will publish games for inventors who put up the money; also that he will be selling 20 sided dice - two for $1.98; also that he has less than 100 copies left of FIRST INDOCHINA WAR (from 50-52 of Battle Flag, I believe).

Claude gave me the July and August issues of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. In the August there is an ad for ASTRO-CHESS, $14.95 from:
{Seira Enterprises
8148 Ronson Ave., Suite O
San Diego, California 92111
In Bridgeport bought a copy of THE BOOK OF TAROT - $2.99 at Walden Books. At museum bought a set of 4 old cars for 35¢, possibly to use as markers in QUICK TRIP. Showed Claude the letter from Phil Cohen on LOA. Claude wants Phil to write to him. Claude gave me ideas for my lecture at Bloomingdales, such as asking for a show of hands as to who knew various different games. Also a few sets of crayons could inexpensively supply markers for a lot of kids to play. I thought of carboard backings for them to play in the audience.
