2 SUNDAY - JULY 1972
FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY - 184TH DAY - 182 DAYS TO COME
Thought of an idea for a game using one view master.
Tentative name JUNGLE RACE.
(cont. from 7/3) [7/6]
Arthur & Wald. Discussed Sullivan's terms and they are
interested in getting quick money. I told them I wasn't sure
whether I would submit anything, but if I
didn't I certainly wouldn't mind if they did.

off, making only 8 actually played for. I beat Adela
by $2,000.

No one cared too much for this. Too many different things
happening, with no clear directions.
To vest pocket park and discussed how we would proceed
with HASBRO. Decided we won't show anything more
than today's games and those previously shown, until
we each got the initial $5,000.
Claude had MONEY, MONEY, MONEY with him but we didn't
get the chance to play it. He said there are changes
but we didn't go into them.
Talked to Claude about NEW YORK Magazine. He offered
