<br>I asked Arthur how his "secret" project was doing. He had
written to all the psychiatrists listed in the telephone book,
telling them about their (Arthur & Wald's) games, particularly
<u>FOLLY</u>. Only one answered but he interested some of his
colleagues and they have been getting together. Arthur and
Wald give each one of them a free set of <u>DRAGON</u> and some
of them have bought sets of the <u>HIGHDECK</u>.
 
Played <u>PUSH OVER</u> again with BB. Made a recard of one of the
setups and played it again. I won both ways.
