SATURDAY 2 OCTOBER 1971
275th day - 90 days to come
Rcd. a clipping, sent to me by Paul Slotkin, from the
WALL STREET JOURNAL of Sept. 30, 1971. In the "Business
Bulletin" column the following items appeared:
A new game called FEDS 'N' HEADS gets off to a fast but
controversial start. The board game pits the marijuana seekers against
narcotics agents. Rathcon Inc., which is marketing the game with
Playboy Enterprises, says it has sold 10,000 in less than a month.
But Jordan Marsh department store in Miami took the game off
the shelves because customers complained.
Rcd. 1 answers to SLEUTH problem.
Rcd. a letter from an AGOG reader who is a "game nut"
and would like to invent games.
In Venice bought a game in booklet form called GIOCO DEL CALCIO
(for 200 Lire). Also packaged is a soccer field and cuttou
cut out men.
In a big toy store saw BAZAAR. Also saw VENTO FORZA 6

Later Mrs. Reidel (I believe) was there with her daughter
who will be demonstrating 97 the rest of the week. Spoke

Bob Hallowell was there demonstrating ORBIT. He is having
a lot of manufacturing problems, but the tin can manufacture
still hasn't said that he can't do FUN CITY.
Bob asked when I was going to his place to show him some
news things. Started to tell him about the items I
spoke to Phil about today, but Felicia came in, and by
the time I was free again Bob was gone. Later I called
Phil & told him to tell Bob about them when he sees him.
Felicia told me thet Dan Martin who has a big toy store in
Detroit, was in to see her. He said thatEXECUTIVE DECISION and
SLEUTH were doing very well.
Mr. Fiel, who together with his wife did Parker's TOUCH, will be
in Monday morning with 3 GAMEs. One is a Wall Street GAME
which Parker has already rejected. Felicia asked if I wanted to
come [to] her office when Fiel comes there. Told her I would love to
