SUNDAY 25 DECEMBER 1966
Christmas Day
359th day - 6 days to come

Bette Bailen saw Bernice, Dale, Claude, & me on the Granada
film made here last year. Only the last park showing
us playing BIG FUNERAL was shown. It was on WPIX yesterday
about 1:00 P.M. She called again in evening that it was
on again - about 10 P.M. today. We watched it. The commentator
said that 2 out of 3 games sold in U.S. were about
war or violence and that we had a morbid fascination with
death and destruction. They had a part of Claude's
commentary, but made it seem that we were dead serious
and ended with, "if a player doesn't die he becomes
a zombie["]. I called WPIX to complain about the distorted
presentation. No one of authority was there but I was
told to call the programming director on Tuesday. {Hank Booraem
{MU 2-6500
{EXT. 787-8

Played 5 hand THE FIRST MILLION with Dad, (Morris), Debbie, Dale,
& Dana. It dragged horribly and we called it off, Then
played 3-hand with Debbie & Dad. Much better. At
home made a few changes and then played 6-hand by
myself. Seemed quite good. Played 2 2-hand games
with BB. Fast, playable, but not too interesting.
