MONDAY 16 MARCH 1970 75th day - 290 days to come


To I-S at lunch time. Felicia gave me the rules for UGLY CUBES and GAMBLER'S CURE to reproduce & return. These were the puzzles I saw on 3/11. The third one with the numbers was the same as UGLY CUBES and not at all like GENIUS BLOCKS. Impact still hasn't gotten any word on any of the projects. Felicia has been kidding them about it. We discussed where to send ANOTHER but didn't come to any conclusions, except that I'll bring it there next time I come. Jake Williams likes AGOG so much that he has lost sleep the last 4 nights. Brought the article on AGOG [crossed out] in SCIENTIFIC AM. to the office and ran repros., one for Felicia and one to send to Frank Thibault. Simon & Schuster gave Felicia a copy of GAMES TO IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S ENGLISH to see if any of them could be packaged. She loaned it to me to see what I could find.

Rcd. a pleasant letter from Pierre Berloquin. He intends to use DOMINO BEAD GAME in his book. He sent me a descriptive folder for ECOPLANY, which he says is very dull. He asked when we will be arriving in Paris and offered to meet us at Orly. He writes a monthly column for SCIENCE ET VIE similar to Martin Gardner's.

Rcd. an agreement form Ideal releasing each other from THE CASE OF THE ELUSIVE ASSASSIN contract.

Call from Phil Orbanes. Bob Hallowell is postponing our meeting another week.

At office "Al Oblas" gave me a good length of telephone wire with all the different colors.
