TUESDAY 28 MAY 1968
149th day - 217 days to come
Called Bill Bentzin. When he goes back to St. Paul Nick Politis will be
handling the game publicity. But Bill will be in overall charge and will
be coming to New York frequently. Spoke to Nick and in a few weeks, after
he comes back from some trips he will contact me and arrange a date to
come for supper & to see my game collection. Bob Macomber is the
head of the New York office.
Finished the letter to Alex Randolph. Told him that I didn't send him
the check for his cut of the $500 advance since I was afraid he might
have moved.
Returned the rules for THE VERBAL GAME & HAAR HOOLIM PERCEPTION GAME
to I/S, having reproduced them at the office.
