237th day - 128 days to come


In TEMPO thought of the following. If each [duplicate word] player can continuously shuttle a piece of the player with the least num- ber of pieces remaining is the winner. If each has the same it is a drawn game.
This led to the idea for a scoring system. When a player wins a game he scores a number of points equal to the num- ber of opponent's pieces remaining on the board.

Bernie Newman called. I'm to meet with him and Shelley Lieberman tomorrow at Stern Associates' office at 200 Fifth Ave.

Called Stan Harris. Told him someone else might be in- terested in AIRLINE. Also checked about copies of TAM-BIT and TAKE FIVE for Martin. They won't be completely finished in time, mainly the chips haven't come from Japan. Told him that just the rules would be sufficient. He'll call me back by the end of the week. I took his new home phone, in case I have to contact him sometime in an evening.
