THURSDAY 25 FEBRUARY 1971

56th day - 309 days to come

Bob Hallowell called. Wanted to meet downtown at 12 today. Couldn't make it conveniently and couldn't make other arrangements today. I asked if he intended coming out with MANHATTAN MADNESS this year. He said that would be im- possible for him and that I should show it to others with that in mind. I said that no one else could do it this year. Since there is no hurry why not wait and I'll drive up with it to Mt. Kisco after the Fairs. He thought that was a good idea and then we could discuss other items I have.

Called Mickey Mackay's office. She wasn't in today. She may be in tomorrow morning. Left word that she could reach me here if she wanted to.

To 200 Fifth Ave. to register for Toy Fair. Met Mickey Mackay who had rcd. my message. She said that CARDINO had picked up in Washington and Chicago thanks to my column, and "she owes me a lunch." I'll meet her at the M.B. showroom on Wednesday AM, she'll have a CARDINO for me and maybe STRATEGY POKER. They don't have anything new games at the adult level.
