Call from Arthur. Some further changes in POWUR. (incorporated [crossed out]

  1. 1. All pcs. can move diagonally.
  2. 2. Defense pc. only can capture diagonally.
  3. 3. Shooting pcs. given out before defensive.
  4. 4. Players start at the corners ["s" crossed out] spaces next to

the outside corner [small grid drawing] (I don't agree with this).

Alice called. POTENTIAL was rejected by Parker. They say that they have much more success with games about a specific business, etc. then with abstract skill games. Thought of theme for DATA.

Then can get "requisitions" to use other workers' files but must justify this use by getting the [crossed out] data about their speciality. Instead of scoring they prepare reports on a specific area (continent) and their "efficiency" rating goes up (or down) depending on the report.
