Phil Wednesday and he'll send it, together with 2 of his  <br>

Played the <u>HOLEY TERROR</u> game with BB. It was O.K.
 
To <u>Jack Davis</u>. Took a copy of <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u>,  <br>
<u>SPEED CIRCUIT</u>, and a copy of <u>SLEUTH</u> they could spare,  <br>
the one Jack and Jan used to play themselves.  <br>
Forgot to bring <u>MONEYSWORTH</u> for Jack to copy.
 
Bought 2 packages of blades for the Xacto knife.  <br>
 
To skunk works. Took 2 copies of ''<u>S & T</u>'' #28. They didn't have  <br>
any loose copies of <u>LOST BATTLES</u>.  <br>
Asked <u>Jim</u> about the $5 per column, particularly to cover the  <br>
expense of answering a clock of letters. He reminded me that  <br>
I had <s>agreed</s> suggested taking my <s>money amou</s> payment in  <br>
games instead of money.  <br>
Played two games of <u>ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II</u>. Played Russia  <br>
in first game and came in third (I think). Played  <br>
Great Britain in second and came in tied for first. The  <br>
U.S. has very little chance of winning with the "historical  <br>
scenario" but, I was told, can win with some of the "what  <br>
if" scenarios. (<u>Al Nofi</u> was one of the players in the game.)  <br>
Mentioned <u>U-BOAT</u> and one of the fellows told me that the  <br>
addition of the extra cardboard gadgets. I saw last time  <br>
didn't change the game, the rules still being the same.
 
During day called <u>Mickey Mackay</u>. The games, <u>SUMMIT</u>, etc.,  <br>
just came in today. She put aside a set for me. I'll  <br>
pick them up Monday after my stint at Brentano's.
 
<s>Earl Perel called. He was thinking of making up an  <br>
insurance <u>GAME</u>. What started him on this was a  <br>
simple gadget that averaged a series of numbers.</s>
 
I asked <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> if he had followed thru on asking  <br>
<u>Tom Shaw</u> to send a copy of <u>ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II</u> to  <br>
<u>Pierre Berloquin</u>. He said it might be better if I did it. I  <br>
said I would.  <br>
<u>Jim</u> showed me an ad for ''<u>S & T</u>'' in ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''.
 
<u>Jack Davis</u> mentioned that he rcd. a <u>BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH-CLUB</u>  <br>
mailing with games. <u>THE NEXT PRESIDENT</u> seemed somewhat  <br>
like <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u>. I told him I'd compare the two and  <br>
let him know.
