SUNDAY 16 AUGUST 1970
Twelfth Sunday after Trinity 228th day - 137 days to come
Bennington Battle Day (Vt.)
Finished the review of THE STOCK MARKET GAME and
also reviewed BUSINESS GAME and MOVIE MOGULS.
Claude called. Nothing on specific games.
(cont. from 8/19) [8/19]
by two (or is it more) players.
Told Felicia of I. Pfeffer's request that ASTRO-FLITE be
returned. She asked if I intended writing to him and
when I said "yes" asked me to tell him to send her re-
turn postage.
Called Diane Jaust. She claimed that Selma Shapiro never
told her to call me. She will prepare a flyer on "Random
House" release paper and have 1000 copies run off by
photo offset.
I told her about Jane Jordan's suggestion of 8/18 and
she will have the sales people get on it.
Forgot to remind her that I'd need several copies of
AGOG for visitors to leaf thru.
Steve Bankoczy had remarked that putting cubes together
was just about the only possible form for a 3-dimensional
puzzle. That started me thinking of the following PUZZLE:
There are a square rod of lengths varying from 2 to 10
units. The ends have lines in different colors which
are continued part way along the edges-
with a different color coming from the other
end. Object is to stand the 9 rods in a 3x3 cluster so that each joint the same
color continues on one end, along the side, and
out to the other end.
Might be desirable to increase to 12 or even
16 rods and have more than 1 of the same height.
[Drawing on left of green, red, purple, blue lines drawn together to create a grid with two open sides]
Rcd. a letter from Gary Sherbell who got my name and ad-
dress from Peter Gersten and Michael Gentile (GAME
OF THE MONTH CLUB - N.Y.). He is interested in getting his
game TORTS-THE GAME OF LAWSUITS to my agent. Enclosed
a self-addresssed & stamped envelope for my answer.
Gave Claude a copy of STOCK MARKET GAME (Whitman) which I had
in triplicate. Also my extra copy of THE BEST OF PROBLEMATICAL
RECREATIONS VOLUME 1. Returned his copy of ABBOTT'S NEW CARD
GAMES which Allan Turoff game me.
Ate at "Thunderbird" to celebrate signing of
EXECUTIVE DECISION contract. Used Claude's $6.25 share of
(cont. on 8/15)
