MONDAY 9 FEBRUARY
1970 40th day - 325 days to come
The GROUP THERAPY cards came from Park Plastics. Put
them in a box on shelf [14].
Rcd. announcement from GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.).
GO is this month's selection.
Made repros of several of the AGOG reviews to send to
Jules Cooper.
Phil Orbanes called. Bob Hallowell has organized his new
company, calling it "Gametime." ("Your Own Thing" was
already taken.)
Bob is interested in games as well as puzzles. He is
going to Phil's this coming Friday to look at his
games and next week he will come here to look at
mine. Phil will call me Friday to set the date. (He
will be in Cleveland Saturday & Sunday.)
I suggested CINEMA as a possibility. He asked about
AIRLINE and I told him it was pretty definite with Renwal.
(cont. from 2/10) [2/10]
nine swords linking with two others, except 2 which
link with 3. In evening realized that this didn't result
in enough variety in the swords. Will have to make another
layout with more interlocking.
(cont. from (3/1) [3/2]
it is easy to miss the diagonals) violates this rule he is penal-
ized. (1 point - I think. Is the offending stone removed?).
11 points wins.
Alex and I discussed by relationship to Tom Atwater. Alex
said that Tom is always too busy to write and that he can
drive you crazy that way. However he is a very good business-
man and can get the best possible contract. Alex, for example,
will never accept anything less than 5%.
I brought up the idea of a foundation grant for studying games
and Alex said he would definitely talk to Tom about that and
that Tom should have the right connections for doing something.
I showed my card games, the ones I was showing to 3M,
to Alex, and he was interested in how I made them up. Later we
went to a 5 & 10 together where he bought contact.
I called 3M and spoke to Jim Krauss. Made appointment for
2 o'clock today.
To Statler Hilton and first to WFF'N PROOF booth. Ruth Patmore
(cont. on 2/8)
