Letter to <u>Zena Gleman</u> with repros of the two ''<u>S&T</u>'' columns
and the ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' column on <u>MEM</u>.  <br>
"Dear Zena,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.  Have a million  <br>
things to do prior to a three week European third Honeymoon, in  <br>
celebration of our 3oth anniversary.  <br>
My agent is (----) and she is looking forward  <br>
to hearing from you.  <br>
It was very pleasant talking to you, and get in touch next time  <br>
you are in New York.      Regards, Sid "


<u>Jerry Frederick</u> brought me <u>Martin Gardner</u>'s column  <br>
from the June, July, Aug., and Sept. ''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>''s.
Wrote to <u>Phil Cohen</u> asking for anything he could send  <br>
me on <u>Parton</u>'s books (see 9/17).  Also asked if he  <br>
had sent <u>DYNAMO SCHACH</u>.

(cont. from 9/20) [9/22]
<u>Pierre</u> had a French trade magazine, <u>LA REVUE DU JOUET</u>, starting from sometime
in 1969.  Looked through them and saw reviews of quite a few  <br>
games.  Pierre got me repros of the following games, which  <br>
I picked up tomorrow: - <u>AUTO-ECOLE</u>, <u>L'AUTOROUTE</u>, <u>CHICAGO</u>,
<u>LA CITADELLE</u>, <u>ÉCOPLANY</u>, <u>ELDORADO</u>, <u>LES GRANDS AMIRAUX</u>, <u>LE GRAND TOURNOI</u>  <br>
<u>LE LINGUARAMI</u>, <u>LE MOT CARRE</u>, <u>NAVALITIC</u>,  <br><u>REPORTAGES</u>, <u>LE TRIOKER</u>,  <br>
<u>VA AU BAIN</u>, <u>VIVE LES VACANCES</u>.  <br>
[Horizontal line stuck out and arrow indicating that next section belongs together with the above section.]
In <u>LA REVUE DU JOUET</u> saw the following which either I didn't ask Pierre
for or he didn't get: -  <br>
<u>FACE A FACE</u> - 5 sliding strips are mounted in a frame so  <br>
that 5 pictures on each show at one time.  Players in turn move  <br>
a strip trying to line up 5 of their pictures in a vertical  <br>
or diagonal line.  Half of the pictures show a number  <br>
or different boys; The other half a number of different girls.  <br>
(Rough idea of a children's game)  <br>
<u>DIAMINO POKER</u> - Five cubes with letters and numbers  <br>
on the faces (i.e. - E-1, K-8).  In three throws get longest  <br>
word and highest total.  (No further details.) [May '71 issue.] [preceding square  bracketed item and others like it below were included in original document]  <br>
<u>LE MONDE DES AFFAIRES</u> (Mallory -John Laurent). Investment game  <br>
(looks interesting). [May '71 issue]  <br>
<u>LE CROISILLON</u> (Editions d'Alleyrac) Diagramless X-word puzzle  <br>
with plastic letters and black spaces. [May '71 issue.]  <br>
<u>BOUM</u> - Word game with Board [Jan. '70 issue]  <br>
<u>LES CHERCHEURS</u> (ENATA Editions - 93 Rue La-  <br>
fayette-Paris -10c). (Pretty sure this is the same game I got
later in Germany with name <u>GOLDGRÄBER</u> or <u>CHERCHEUR D'OR</u>
