Red. the book SIMULATION GAMES FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSROOM from the "Foreign Policy Association." Has the names of many simulation games on the market, also the names of quite a few of the companies.

A [illegible word cross out] reader of AGOG sent me a booklet with complete details of an original game and a color picture of the board. The game is called THE PEOPLE CHASE. It is a minor variation of MONOPOLY. But he did go to a lot of trouble with it.

Felicia called. Rudy Lopez has been sick but he contracted Felicia and will bring in his two great new GAMES. I'll join them. He wants me to wonk them up for 33'3% of the royalties. Felicia said that several of her friends saw me at Hallmark and thought I was great. Bob Edwards never got to talk to Felicia, tho he did call when she wasn't in. I filled her in on what he told me. Gini Scott came to see her and she just couldn't take to her. (She was glad when I told her that BB had the same reaction.) She told Gini that she there wasn't that much demand for purely strategic games and she'd rather use mine. Gini showed her pictures of 2 children's items and told her about a book that Western printing might like. Gini is supposed to send them, but Felicia is not sure she she will The date to get together with Rudy Lopez was set for Tuesday @ 10, I told her about Gary Sherbell and TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS She'd like to see it and I'll have him come later Tuesday.
