28 Sunday - December 1975
First Sunday after Christmas - Holy Innocents - 362nd day - 3 days to come


Looked at the Smuggling rules. Made some corrections but didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb. The info seems to be all there, but it could be improved by making it more concise.
Called Richard Berg to ask him to bring 1829 to S.P.I. - that I'll be there Tues.
He asked me about IN$URANCE, having glanced at it.
He mentioned RIBBIT, that he'd like to get a copy since the pieces are frogs. It is either CHESS or chess-like. (Does he know where to get it?)
Finished the O.Henry diagram.
X'Mas card to James Scully. Enclosed $5 check. Mentioned BEYOND TIC TAC TOE.
Letter to Haar Hoolim. Enclosed repro of DAISY article. Men- tioned BEYOND TIC TAC TOE, SEEJEN, OVERLORD (Condor), EPAMINONDAS, PETROPOLIS, COUNTERSTRIKE, THE GAME OF ANCIENT KINGDOMS.
Call from Claude. Mainly on DIABOLIC SQUARES.
