Called <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>. Next Friday
Called <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>. Next Friday will be O.K. for my  <br>
''<u>S & T</u>'' column.  <br>
Told him <u>TRIREME</u> was not for my column and he agreed. I'll  <br>
get it back to him as soon as I can make a copy.  <br>
Talked ti Jim about <u>CONCENSUS</u>. I'm to write to them that  <br>
we are not taking any games from outside sources. I'll keep  <br>
the game they sent.
 
Looked at the rules for <u>SUMMIT</u> during day. There are a  <br>
few small changes from the 1961 edition. In evening played  <br>
with BB, Marylin, and <u>Dave</u>. It ends rather suddenly.

of the points won, making a race game of it.  <br>
In looking thru the ''<u>PLAYTHINGS</u>'' 1971 Directory I found  <br>
an ad for <u>OH HELL</u> (pg. 194) put out by Twinson co.  <br>
Felicia gave me one of the <u>HAGGLE</u> sets <u>Zena Gelman</u>
gave her. Felicia told me the project that she and <u>Lilian Vogel</u> were  <br>
thinking about doing. Lilian worked for Transogram for several years, on  <br>
children's games. In connection with this she set up a file of  <br>
shildren's games cross indexed by subject matter, such as "Cowboy  <br>
Games", etc. Her idea was to set up files for the last 10 years  <br>
and sell them to game companies for $5,000. One year of  <br>
updating free would be included and then a yearly charge would be made.
 
At first Felicia was enthusiastic but by now has second  <br>
thoughts. She asked my opinion and I pointed out that  <br>
Parker had their archives and never seemed to use them.  <br>
Another thing that bothered Felicia was that Lilian was  <br>
moving into family games and that opened up a whole new  <br>
and large field. She asked if I'd be interested in working on  <br>
the family end. I said possibly after I've caught up with my  <br>
backlog, but I didn't sound too enthusiastic.  <br>
Felicia showed me an article in the ''<u>TIMES</u>'' (11/13) about <s>the</s>  <br>
<u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>. There is a lot of protest <s>about</s> over the  <br>
game, from the Italian-American <s>league</s> League and others, including  <br>
some congressmen. Some stores have been getting rid  <br>
of it because of the protests. Brentano's, however, reports  <br>
brisk sales.  <br>
