While my father kept me company, I started a "Master file"
of 2 1/2" x 3" cards. Shelf 10 was the starting point, then
went to 11. 12 will be next, etc.
<br>Thought of another <u>GAME</u> for <u>WORDS FOR THE WISE</u>.
A series of vertical groups for placing words.
<br>[drawing of squares arranged in uneven vertical columns]
<br>Players in turn write a word in a group,
either before or after the previously filled in
groups. Score for words formed horizontally.
<br><u>SUPERGHOSTS</u> certainly will be suitable, and
possibly <u>WORDS TIME THREE</u>.

one else can do the actual writing.
<br>Later I thought that my "Tootan-Ligan-Eithan" puzzle
would be appropriate.
<br>Noticed that he had copies of <u>JOTTO</u>, both the original and
the S&R version. Made repros of the rules for the former,
the latter were in the inside of the box cover.
<br>Also made repros of rules for <u>MILTAC</u> and <u>TACTICS</u> -
put out together by P. - 1916. Also repro of part of the cards.
Took 5 copies of <u>THE 6 PACK - - -</u>.
<br>Got my collection of the "Rand" war games up to date. Phil gave
me a small folder set of <u>NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGNS</u>. Added the
missing chart sheet to my original copy and also found a
"Rules Modifications" sheet which I added to the original.
<br>Took a new set of counters for <u>ROMMEL: THE WAR FOR NORTH AFRICA</u>.
<br>Took the box for holding "Vol II of Command Series Games." Also
took the missing tile from <u>HITLER'S LAST GAMBLE! ---</u>, but the
duplicate copy is still not complete. There is a missing "Re-
inforcement schedule."
<br>To S.P.I. All the brass in a conference with <u>Chris Wagner</u>. Left
my <u>S&T</u> no. 53 column with an assistant. Signaled to <u>Howie Barasch</u>
to see if he had anything for me. No.
<br>Spoke to <u>Richard Berg</u>. A lot of his material for no. 52 was also
dropped. He said that a lot of new games came out for the
"Origins I" conference in Baltimore but nothing much of inter-
est since then. He has knocked the last three "Rand" games
in <u>MOVES</u> - particularly <u>WAR OF THE WORLDS II</u> and wonders if they'll
send him any more games for review.
<br>While I was out there was a call from someone, who said
he'd call again. Later discovered it was <u>Moses Goldman</u>.
<br>Call from <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u>. When he came east, after calling me last,
he just went to M.B. and P. - not coming to New York at all.
<br>At M.B. he took back <u>SWEEP</u> (when did he take it from Lakeside?)
since they were sitting on it, and it wouldn't be for '76 - even
