and I later bought the magazine.
She gave me the advertising schedule for the group  <br>
I am included in : -  <br>
''N.Y. Times'' - Dec. 7th (18 titles)
''N.Y. Magazine'' - Dec. 8th}  <br>
''L.A. Times'' - Dec. 14th}  <br>
''Book World'' - Nov. 30th}  <br>
(8 titles) [Referring to Dec. 8, Dec. 14, and Nov. 30.]  <br>
She will come to supper on Dec. 11th.  <br>
Got info on Ruth Jacobs interview on Dec. 10th.  <br>
Arlene Francis decided not to have me on.
To Claude's in evening. Played <u>COUNTERPOINT</u>, Mary Ellen  <br>
and me against Anne & Marty. Noone cared too much  <br>
about it except me. Decided to make 50 points the  <br>
game and a double game for getting 11 <s>poi</s> or more  <br>
points ahead of the other side.  <br>
Claude had another version of a <u>NIM</u> game he calls  <br>
<u>LAST MAN</u>. The board is as shown  <br>
[Diagram showing 12 dots connected to 1 or 2 other dots via line segments.]  <br>
12 markers are placed at the 12 intersections. 2 play. Players  <br>
in turn take off one marker or two which  <br>
are connected by a line. Player forced to take  <br>
the last marker loses. (We played a number  <br>
of games & I won them all.)  <br>
I think that with a little study it can  <br>
be determined who has the win.  <br>
As a possible proprietary game a board can  <br>
be provided with holes for placing the line segments in  <br>
different arrangements.  <br>
Claude gave me an ad from <u>NEW YORK MAGAZINE</u> (sometime in  <br>
November) <s>with an ad</s> for <u>DYNASTY</u>, which has some of the<br>
characteristics of the Amberstone's <u>POWER</u>. It costs $14.95.  <br>
Claude returned <u>MATHEMATICS AND THE IMAGINATION</u>.  <br>
