Rcd. a statement from Random House of $1643.36 earnings in
1972. This included $86.45 for books i ordered.

Wrote the rules for IMPULSE and BB typed them. Started
filling in the Illustrations.
Played THE BRAIN GAME with the Laurences. The forced trades,
etc. played well. The buying of cards after all were removed
from the tray was not popular. Later thought of the following
idea. At this stage a player who chooses to throw the dice,
and anyone may pass, picks a card before he throws. He then
pays $1,000 x the total of the 3 dice. If he throws a total of 7
(15 chances in 216) he gets the card free. If he throws a total
of 11 (27 chances in 216) he pays $11,000 but does not get the card.
Played IMPULSE, about 5 games with different combinations
of players, including Elliot.

Rcd. a letter from Warren Buell that he'll be in N.Y. on 2/21 and 2/22.
