SUNDAY 25 JANUARY
Septuagesima--Conversion of St. Paul (Transferred to Jan. 26) 1970 25th day - 340 days to come
Wrote letters to F. Daniel, Paul Greenough, NAMO (SENSITIVITY,
ODD PIECES, etc.)
Called John Anderson (see 1/23). When I go back to work I
will contact him and he'll come over, meeting in city and
riding up together.
(cont. from 1/27) [1/27]
When at Felicia's signed the extension of TRIPLE CROSS
for 2 years.
Brought Felicia copies of TAM-BIT & TAKE FIVE.
(cont. from 2/6) [3/2]
them to me if I was willing to take the time to look
over them.
EXECUTIVE DECISION is in the final stages of costing and
will be published as soon as possible- although he doesn't
know exactly when it will be (and we still haven't rcd.
a contract). They will skip the test marketing and will go
national at once. Bill thinks that the name alone will
insure success. I said that I had picked a good one and he
thought it had been his idea. We certainly didn't argue a-
bout it, each admitting that we didn't remember exactly
what had happened.
They are using a chalk board, similar to the one in
STOCKS AND BONDS to replace a good deal of the equip-
ment.
Showed them PE-LING and they didn't care too much for
it, too much like others in the line. Jim did like the
idea of SEARCH and wants me to send it in. They prob-
ably won't have a chance to get to it for a few months
but the sooner it gets there the sooner it will be on
their waiting list.
I brought up the matter of the copies of MONAD and VENTURE
that Bill had promised. They will send them, also copies
of SUM-UP and OCTRIX and (I think) TRYCE since there
have been changes in the rules.
Called Tom Atwater's hotel room and got Alex. Tom is sick at Con-
cord. Alex hung up abruptly as he was expecting a visitor.
> To Statler Hilton Hotel <
Saw Al Samuels at Aco. They had partially completed
samples of two new games:- CHARGE an abstract war
game - he said he'd send me it when it was ready.
