SATURDAY 21 JUNE First Day of Summer 1969 172nd day - 193 days to come

Rcd. the following: The material on Time/Motion Studies on Avalon Hill type games from Jim Dunnigan.

The TAKE-FIVE contract from Stan Harris. Also a check for $120.00, which came in an envelope marked "The Learn- ing Aids Group, Inc.

The repro of the book jacket from Barbara. They goofed on some of the copy. A form to sign which transfers my contract from Pantheon to Random House.

Spoke to Claude. Told him about yesterday's meeting with Arthur and Wald.

(cont. from 6/27) [6/27]

In Felicia's second call she said that Harvey Gardner (see 6/25) called to check on Whitman's exact name, she thinks he will give FOCUS a good plug.

Played quite a few games of TEMPO with Phil. He liked it though I won every one. He didn't think the "priviledge" was necessary. Later I pretty much decided to eliminate "continuous priviledge" and therefore the necessity of the special holes. Will also change the one allowable "priviledge" move as follows: It cannot be used if the player has no other move available. It can- not be used to make a capture. The piece can be moved to any other unoccupied space on the board. Played a few games of ODD OR EVEN with Phil. He didn't care as much for it. Played one game of INTERPLAY. He liked it.
