MONDAY 4 JANUARY 1971

4th day - 361 days to come

Spoke to Barbara Fischer and Bob Abel (see 12/30/70) and date with former at 2:30 and latter at 12:15.

Brought GO SEE rules to Jerry Dougherty at: [bracket] Impact Communications
15 E. 41st St. (2nd Floor)
New York, N.Y. 10017
869-1900
He liked the way I had written them. I told him about the possibility of adding a rule that players, after all the sights have been seen, return to their starting city. In 4-hand, 1st back gets 30 points, 2nd - 20 pts., 3rd - 10 pts. In 3-hand, 1st back gets 30 points, 2nd - 15 pts. In 2 hand, 1st gets 20 points.
We should get an answer from Continental in the next 2 weeks.
Eastern Air Lines is interested in a Caribbean Treasure Hunt Game, but not to do anything on it till it is more definite.

Met Bob Abel at Dell Publishing (750 Third Ave.), where he now works. He took me to a fancy restaurant for lunch. Interviewed me, but somehow didn't seem to come up with very inter- esting questions. I told him that I would let him know if any of the game contracts become definite so that he can include them in the article.
The meeting with Barbara Fisher didn't come off since Sergio Mahaldi never called her from the airport.

Rcd. a call from [bracket] Stephen Palins
9348 Cherry Hill Rd. (Apt. 408)
College Park, Maryland 20740
He saw my BOOK WORLD article and was very interested in EXTINCTION. Couldn't find a copy and asked where he could obtain one. I said I'd check with the distributor and drop him a card with the result.

Rcd. INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER SUPPLEMENT (Issued 12/19/70).

(cont. from 1/7) [1/7]

(see 1/6). Called Fay and he'll call tomorrow.

At Claude's played 6-hand PLANES, with Claude, Anne, Marty, Raymond, & Richie. They liked it pretty well (and even Richie played well. But I still wasn't satisfied with the interplay between the Planes.

Claude gave me game clipping from 12/22/70 TIMES.
