WEDNESDAY 10 JULY 1968 192nd day - 174 days to come

Jake Williams picked up the reproduction of FACTOR. He mentioned that a lawyer friend of his had made up a legal GAME which has a great many cards and can have an unlimited number of combinations. It is much too complicated, however. He asked if I would like to work on it with him and I said O.K. Suggested that he come for supper sometime. He'll contact me.

Claude called. We'll have a NYGA meeting Friday 7/19 if it is O.K. with Arthur.

Nick Politis came here for supper and to see my collection. Showed him FOCUS and gave him a booklet. Nick said that he had heard that POPULAR MECHANICS was in- terested in a column on games. He will see if he can get further info for me and also if he recommend me. He was actually more interested in Dale than in my games. Nick's work address: Nick Polites 3M Co. 16th Floor 135 W. 50th St. New York, N.Y. 10020
