30 WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 1972
243RD DAY - 123 DAYS TO COME
Felicia called to ask which magazine I was doing a
consulting job for (WOMAN'S DAY). There is a possibility
she may be able to get me some more assignments
and she wants to be able to say what I have done.
She was sorry about Arthur's fall but was annoyed at having
to look for POWER.
I mentioned that I had reviewed EVADE for BOOK WORLD in-
stead of POINT OF LAW. She was annoyed that I hadn't
done IMAGE. Told her that I didn't have it. She said
that she gave me the rules and some of the cards
last year (later checked and it was BID AND BLUFF) but
then agreed that I had to play before writing a review.
Told her that I was going to see Al Richter Friday. She said
to tell him she tried to place his games Monday, but
no success.
Rcd. [received] a letter from Bob Lanzon of NOST, with my membership
card. He rcd. a copy of GREATER ROCHESTER COMMERCE with
the writeup on me! He plans to run it in NOSTALGIA.
A lot of the members would like to try some of my
games by mail, with me.
Working on game diary. Discovered that I had an entry of
3/23 for THE STOCK MARKET GAME in the index cards, but
couldn't find it on that date, or any other date with a 23
or around that time. (At end of year discovered it was 6/23)
While looking found an entry on COUP D'ÉTAT (4/24)
from ALBION magazine. It was reviewed in issue #28,
which I haven't seen.
Arthur called in the evening. On the 6 P.M. Ch. 2 news they had
a piece on adult games. First they had a buyer from
Hammeker Schlammer talking about an upsurge in expensive
gambling games like ROULETTE and something from Japan.
Then they had a shot of the Greenwich Village apt. [apartment] of a
stockbroker, Stephen Grossberg. He was playing JUMPIN with
a girlfriend. He said that he liked playing full information
games where skill was the determining factor, such as
JUMPIN and TWIXT. But there is a great game with some luck
but one in which the more skillful player will always
beat the more lucky, ACQUIRE. (Errors in this undoubtedly,
since it is 3rd hand.) Thanked Arthur for taking the
trouble to call.
He is feeling a little ^dizzy but otherwise O.K.
Called Al Richter to confirm our date Friday.
At 11:30 called Jerry D'Arcey's home. Operation today O.K.
But he'll be in hospital at least two weeks.
Sent check for $350.00 and a note to Leonard Willett.
