16 SUNDAY - JANUARY 1972
SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY - 16TH DAY - 350 DAYS TO COME

Playing around with AIR BATTLE. Played with BB on a 12 x 9 field with 4 airstrips : - 2 long (1 plane), 3 long (1 planes), 4 long (2 planes), 5 long (2 planes). Also 3 factories : - 2 long, 4 long, 6 long, (each producing 1 plane). Also 6 guns. It was rather slow moving. Worse, the factories and guns were rather meaningless.

(cont. from 1/17) [1/18]

Herb Roth has a new game HAT IN THE RING, put out by "Changing Times Education Service" (Kiplinger). It sells for $10. We checked but Herb was not there [illegible crossed out] to look at it. It sells for $10.
I asked about BODY TALK. Herb told Felicia to tell my correspondent to order it from Macy's.
Someone sent Felicia a copy of Paul Schulman's article in the HACKENSACK RECORD (1/16). She, Lillian Voegelin, and I were quoted to some length. Schulman promised to send her four copies, but hasn't so far.
Felicia mentioned to Bob Gellman that we didn't have a contract yet and he said that it took time but should be ready soon, not to worry.
He also said that JET HOLIDAY was already in production. I said that I hadn't given him the latest layout of cities and routes. She'll contact him.

Felicia called in the evening. After I left Herb Roth spoke to her and told her that Research Games was dropping MOVIE MOGULS and owed Ken Morgan money for royalties. I told her that Ken had told me about. She was angry that I hadn't told her and I said that I respect other people's confidences the same as I respect hers. Later she apologized.
Herb Roth wants to take over MOVIE MOGULS and wants her to go in with him. She wants no part of it.
