to SPACE.

Met Claude & Anne downtown. Gave Claude his ECLIPSE model
and a check for $54.63 for EXECUTIVE DECISION.
Claude saw a TV ad for a game being sold at Alexanders
for $6.00 (abt.). It is a word game called THINK TANK and the
name of the company seems to be "Horizon Toys" and "Wordorama".

Rcd. an X'mas card from Pam and Don Turnbull. No message.

Looked at LOTTO and found a note on its history in
THE YOUNG FOLKS' CYCLOPEDIA OF GAMES AND SPORTS. Looked at
"Encyclopedia Britanica" and they didn't have anything on the
history.
