Rcd. a letter from Felicia with a clipping of a ''Times'' article on 
THE HOUSE OF GAMES and a carbon of a letter she wrote to

but didn't. (Felicia wanted it back so I copied the info and 
put it in the I.S. folder).

While I was out BB rcd. a long distance call from someone at
3M, whose name did not sound familiar to her. He'll call 
tomorrow morning. 
Also while I was out Felicia called to ask if I knew a 
game, CANDIDATE. It seems that it is being requested at the 
stores. Noone, including the trade magazines, seems to know 
anything about it. I checked later and I didn't have any info 
on it. 
I did find info on a game BEZANT (Not BEGANT - see 4/8). It was 
shown to me in 1967, not 1965.

Bought 2 copies of PSYCHE-PATHS at "The Push Cart" for 49 [cents]
each. The rules were somewhat different from my copy and 
they provided a plastic playing area. Took these items from 
one of the boxes and added it to the set I had from before, 
which had a somewhat more attractive box. 
Also bought two package of plastic pieces, rectangular and 
triangular in 2 colors, at the 69 [cents] store.

Wrote a letter to Creative Specialties, requesting a 
review copy of BUGS & LOOPS. 
Wrote to Charles Wibel telling him that I would like to 
review NEW TOWN in my next column and to get a copy to 
me as soon as possible.

Mike Baschkepf rides home with a stock broker occasionally.
He was telling Mike about a great game he saw in 
''SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN'' Magazine, made up by someone called
Sackman. Mike told him he knew me. The game was 
PATTERNS II.

''New York Magazine'' had a passtime (not a game) called the 
CITY SENSES GAME. (Kept it.)
