SUNDAY 15 NOVEMBER Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity 1970 319th day - 46 days to come
Looked at POTENTIAL with the idea of sending it to X. Then I checked the diary and found that they had already rejected it, close to the start of the project.
Proof read the typewritten sheets and the diagrams for THE INFERNAL BINARY MACHINE.
"N.Y. Times" had an ad for SOLAR BASES (A game for the computer age.) It is put out by: { University Creations, Inc., Dept. NN-L, P.O. Box 774, Cherry Hill, N.J. 08034 (Since it is in Cherry Hill probably Joe Weisbecker has something to do with it. I'll get in touch with him.)

Claude called and invited himself for supper to- morrow night. He told me about BYZANTIUM being in TOYS & NOVELTIES and I told him I had it. I told him to make sure to get DUEL to Felicia. He said he would and is also trying to think of a novel looking board for LOA for 2 players. He has played DUEL with Wald and Wald uses strategy from GO-BANG so well that the use of the pictures is eliminated.
November TOYS (they dropped the "& Novelties" starting with this issue) came. Included are ZODIAC 111 and ODYSSEY (featuring the packaging), CONFRONTATION, SCUDA CHECKERS, BYZANTIUM, and GALLOPING DICE GAME (which is not a game but a set of two regular dice & 2 dice that throw only 7 or 11).
November PLAYTHINGS came. Included is an article on Stuart Kaplan of "U.S. Game Systems" and their TAROT items. He is working on a book on Tarot and other old card games. Also in Showcase - POKERETTE (U.S. Playing Card) and CLASS.
Rcd. a very pleasant letter from Tom Shaw. He is sending (cont. on 11/7)
