SUNDAY 25 JULY 1971
St. James, Apostle
Seventh Sunday after Trinity
206th day - 159 days to come

Called Jim Dummigan to see what he wanted me to do about
DANGEROUS PARALLELS (see 7/14). He just thought it might
be a good idea to do a column on clessroom simulation
games; maybe I could pick up some free material. I said it

do the rest of the new games.
Jim thinks that by next summer we'll be ready to start
discussing the "Game Magazine", especially if he can talk
Bob Reiss into putting some money into it and helping with
the distribution.
