Downtown to Pierce Promotions. Gave <u>Jack Davis</u> the ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' <br> | Downtown to Pierce Promotions. Gave <u>Jack Davis</u> the ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' <br> | ||
with my article. | with my article. He looked thru his clippings and had <br> | ||
very few on my games; he had been told to push <u>KRESKIN'S KRYSTAL</u>. <br> | |||
The best was an article from ''<u>CHICAGO TODAY</u>'' including <u>SPEED CIRCUIT</u>, <br> | |||
<u>THE STOCK MARKET GAME</u>, <u>ACQUIRE</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>DIPLOMACY</u>, <br> | |||
<u>PRO FOOTBALL</u>, <u>GO</u>. Also told an article on <u>Alex Randolph</u> from <br> | |||
"Youth Enterprise Service". | |||
To <u>Mickey Mackay</u> and gave her the ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' with my article. <br> | |||
Mentioned that I may move to doing 8 or so articles a year <br> | |||
and then brought up her previous ideas on syndication. <br> | |||
She has been checking and it is rough. In her opinion going <br> | |||
thru ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' would be a much better way. <br> | |||
M.B. is coming out with two <u>GAME</u>s based on the T.V. <br> | |||
program "It's All in the Family". She suggested that they might <br> | |||
be interested on one based on "Sanford & Son" the new program <br> | |||
starting this week, based on the family life of blacks. | |||
To <u>Mike Alber</u>. Gave him ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. He showed me the clipping from <br> | |||
the ''<u>SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER</u>''. Not only did it misspell my name <br> | |||
but it left out the mention of <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> and <u>SLEUTH</u>, <br> | |||
only mentioning <u>''AGOG''</u>. <br> | |||
He gave me copies of <u>LANDSLIDE</u> and <u>TINY TIM GAME</u>. The latter <br> | |||
had bombed horribly. He had only two copies left and insisted that <br> | |||
I should have one as a collector's item. <br> | |||
Both of the games were done by <u>Marvin Glass</u>, and he is <br> | |||
pretty sure that <u>DEALER'S CHOICE</u> (about used cars) is also M.G. <br> | |||
They keep taking M.G. things because they sell well. Last year <br> | |||
<u>MASTERPIECE</u> did better than any board game in history (I believe) <br> | |||
than <u>MONOPOLY</u>. <br> | |||
While I was there he rcd. a telephone call from someone who was <br> | |||
preparing a radio program on games. The fellow was interested in <br> | |||
modern topics. Mike will send him <u>CAREERS</u>, which is updated <br> | |||
with new careers in Ecology etc.; also <u>MONOPOLY</u>. Mike was <br> | |||
mentioning Urban Systems Games but didn't include <u>ECOLOGY</u>. <br> | |||
I mentioned it and Mike told the fellow that "one of the <br> | |||
countrie's leading experts on games was in the office" and put me on. <br> | |||
I told him about Urban Systems, also the group interaction <br> | |||
type. Told him about war games and said that I liked <u>RISK</u> <br> | |||
better. He asked for a copy. Told him about 3M games and <br> | |||
Pierce Promotions to get a copy of <u>ACQUIRE</u>. <br> | |||
His name is <u>Daniel Mack</u> and he is on WRVR. He took <br> | |||
my number and he'll call. Maybe he'll have me on the program. | |||
Before going to <u>Mickey Mackey</u>'s stopped at Random House. <br> | |||
Neither Fay nor <u>Fabio</u> were in. Went to Miriam Norton but she said <br> | |||
