Rcd. [received] a card from Don Laycock in answer to my letter. He is not coming to the U.S. this trip. He has tried unsuccessfully to submit something to G & P.
Rcd. TOYS - June '73. Had large ad for Lakeside's PERFECTION.

There was a notice from the P.O. (which came earlier in the week) that there was a register package. Went there and it was from Haar Hoolim with rules for the following games: - STACK UP, BITSBITSBITS, Q-SETS, MATTIX, LET ME THINK, SPELLBOUND, TAKE-ALL, BRAINY BLOCKS, BARRICADE (2 versions) and STOP'M (which is another version of BARRICADE).

Rcd. a call from James Trager. Told him that I probably wouldn't get a chance to work on BAWDY BESS until the fall, and that I'd certainly return it if he wants me to. He said he'd rather wait. Very pleasant.
Michael Dummett called. He has been in N.Y. lecturing at the Rockerfeller Institute for 3 months, but has been very busy. He is going back to England next Tuesday. Arranged for him to come for supper Sunday, but he'll check in the morning first.

Called Claude. Told him about OUT OF LINE. Date next week.

Call from Al Richter. Postponed date tomorrow to 7/21.

THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE - A children's game where players move around the board by dice throw and collect the ingredients for casting spells on opponents. When they get enough the change the opponent into different forms (there are a number of different shapes in each color). Players can also use spell ingredients to get rid of their own spells, and need about half as much. Score for points for casting the spell and also more points each time the opponent passes a certain space under the spell.
