Visited the Laurences. Phil and I played my ANAGRAMS VARIATION. Then played 4-hand. At first Annette didn't care for it but she got so invested involved that she wanted to finish a round of four plays of the same tiles. Very late but almost did it.
Phil gave me some info he rcd. from ASCE on their (*) ENGINEERING MANAGER GAME SEMINAR. (Filed in '75 misc.)

He brought up the idea of working together on some games. I gathered that I would pay to have them produced and he'll pay to promote them. Told him that I had two good possibilities (DARN CLEVER and TAKE-A-WORD).
He has EMPINONDAS, as well as some other off-beat things, but nothing I don't know. If I come across anything interesting he'd like to know about it, but not amateur war and fantasy companies.
To Union Oil Co. office and left a note for Warren Buell.
Looked in Brentanos. Nothing new. They had a section of games on sale, including PATTON, MACARTHUR, the Reiss p&p games, the Itemation games, the OrDa games.
To Paddington Press and picked up a copy of THE WAY TO PLAY. Spoke to Ruth Cavin and gave her a copy of S&T no. 51. She told me that a book they did on tanks was once reviewed. She'd apprec- iate my sending her a tear sheet.
