FRIDAY 27 MAY 1966 147th day - 218 days to come

Call from Alice. Letter from John Rocknowski. They will do another run of FOCUS in a few months. They are quite happy with its progress. Expect it to pick up a little each year and become a classic.

Alice mentioned a simple gambling GAME brought in by a negro school teacher that she sent to Hallmark. They like it. She will tell me about it when I go there again. (See 6/8.)

She found more game material in their files, which she will save for me. I spoke about those I rcd. last night. Will get together to discuss some possibilities.

Called Esthetic Press about buying blank business cards. He'll [crossed out] get some for me. I'm to call him Tuesday.

Called Bill Bentzin about the expense money for telephone calls I never received. Not in.

In speaking to Alice discussed my new rules for ACQUIRE. She mentioned them to Bill Caruson in a letter but, tho she heard from him since, he didn't say anything about them. When she sends him GO, SEE she will ask him again.

Thinking of some changes in the financial structure of AIRLINE. Want to try to keep the fare the same regardless of number of players. Also want to make it easier to use a "purchase order" when the opponent is not hurt.
