FRIDAY 24 NOVEMBER 1967
328th day - 37 days to come


Alice called. Asked me if I had rc'd. the BAZAAR copies yet.
Unfortunately no.
The inventor of BEZANT picked it up.
I told her about Mike Abrams' ARMADA.
Whitman asked to see DANGER STRAITS again. A woman seems
to have taken over Bob Engel's job, while he moved up.
I asked Alice to ask about FOCUS next time she writes
to Whitman.

BB sent out the registered letter for EXECUTIVE DECISION.

N.Y.G.A. meeting at Arthur's. Wald & Claude with Frankie there : -
played : - CHICKEN CHOW MEIN (See 9/11/64). Played this
time that player's draw one card at a time from the
deck. Say "Chicken" when pass. Say "Chow Mein" when feel
that you can match at least one card in each other player's
hand. If can, get one point for each other player. If not
each other player gets one point.

Played KNIGHTS AND VASSALS (see 1/3). 4 players play as
partners. A game consists of 4 hands with each player
dealing. The dealer's partners hand (the vassal) is
placed up. The left hand opponent leads to the dummy. A
lead must be followed in the same hierarchy (major or minor)
and a higher card must be played if possible - house has no
bearing.
