Third Sunday in Advent <br> | |||
346th day - 19 days to come | |||
---- | |||
''<u>TIMES</u>'' had an ad (almost full page) for A&F, including | |||
<u>CROSSBLOCK</u>, <u>CROSSWALK</u>, <u>CROSSTALK</u>, <u>HECTIX</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>BLUE LINE HOCKEY</u>, <u>CARTESIAN DIVER</u>, <u>FRENETICS</u>, <u>PENTAL</u>, <u>PENTA/GO</u>. and <u>BRIDGETTE</u>. | |||
Altman's had another ad for <u>BRIDGETTE</u>. | |||
Worked out a difficult puzzle for <u>DIALEMMA</u> by considering <br> | |||
the outside lines as being connected as indicated by the letter pairs. | |||
[Diagram of a 4 x 4 grid with rows labeled A-B-C=D from top to bottom and the columns are labeled E-F-G-H from left to right.] | |||
Going over the material from <u>AMERICA'S GAME BOOK</u> that I had <br> | |||
copied and added material [illegible crossed out] where required. | |||
<u>Felicia</u> called to invite BB and me for supper tomorrow. Told her <br> | |||
I had a date to go to my father's. | |||
<u>Gary Sherbell</u> called to ask me some questions about <br> | |||
<u>TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS</u>. Hallmark had returned it saying it <br> | |||
was no fun. He wondered if they saw his original version <br> | |||
or the changed version with the multiple suing that 3M <br> | |||
had suggested. I said that undoubtedly <u>Felicia</u> had sent <s>him</s> them <br> | |||
the latest. He wondered if there was any way of finding out <br> | |||
from 3M the results of their testing, since he had only <br> | |||
tried the new version once. I suggested that, since it was his <br> | |||
game he should try it more times himself to determine <br> | |||
what he thinks is the best version. | |||

<u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> was out to lunch and I asked Henry to tell her <br> | |||
that I would get more copies of <u>S & T</u> to her when they are <br> | |||
reprinted. <br> | |||
There was a big pile of <u>SLEUTH</u> and <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, also <br> | |||
quite a few <u>ACQUIRE</u>. | |||
< | To Scribner's and spoke to Burroughs Mitchell the "Trade Book <br> | ||
Editor". Also another fellow who had read the manuscript and <br> | |||
found a lot of things that he couldn't understand, but he thought <br> | |||
that, not being a games expert, it might have been his fault. <br> | |||
Discussed the book in general, just going over my notes in a <br> | |||
few cases. I said I'd hold on to my notes and would come <br> | |||
down again, if they asked me to, to go over them. <br> | |||
They asked if I'd be interested in fixing up the book. I said that <br> | |||
I'd have to spend as much time as writing a book of my <br> | |||
