on 4th Ave. bought one dozen yellow pads.
On 23rd St. bought the Sept. 1971 PLAYBOY. It had a game FEDS 'N HEADS (see '71). (This is the game Earl told me he had seen.)

To Skunk Works. Asked Red and, since they are going to more pages, I can go over a page in my next column. Checked with> Jim and I can wait until the end of the month to have it in.
Jim gave me the copy of A.H.'s [Avalon Hill] sales he had promised to send to me.
Got a copy of NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO (Revised edition). Jim told me to pick up a copy of a "supplement" to this but Fred said I had rcd. [received] it with the last package (rcd. 1/15). (At home I found I hadn't.)
Asked Jim about the English Magazine ALBION and then by accident saw the copy #32 that Phil Cohen had asked about. Made two copies of a CHESS variation by Rod Blackshaw. (One for Phil and one for me).
Borrowed the magazine. It also had THE DAMATE GAME, a CHESS variant by V.R. Parton. Also had some rule interpretations for BARBAROSSA. Also had a review of KURSK. (A very well done magazine.)

To S. & R. [Selchow and Righter] Gave the receptionist my reviews on RPM and SENTENCE CUBE GAME.
To G. & R. Gave Mr. Reidel my reviews of NEW TOWN, NINETY SEVEN, and CAVEAT EMPTOR in S & T and BOOK WORLD. Also gave him the 1/9 copy of BOOK WORLD giving the address for CAVEAT EMPTOR.
Took a folder for Kontrell Industries which shows the board for RICOCHET and HAVOC. Also the Peter Max CHESS set. And the KALAH line. (Filed in '72 misc.)
Mr. Reidel told me that Lakeside has taken over Games Research (DIPLOMACY).

To see Phil Orbanes at Reiss'. At the end of the month he is leaving to work with Jim Dunnigan.
Reiss is taking over Everyone Products (BRIDGEVERYONE, etc.). Carl Eisenberg will go to work for Hoi Polloi, taking over Phil's duties plus more, using Carl's manufacturing know how.
Phil has not got to talk to Bill Knox yet, but he is sure that GROOVE and his pyramid PUZZLE are O.K. Knox is just busy getting some 15 products ready for production and isn't bothering about anything else.
Bill Knox told Reiss that he wouldn't be happy if Hoi Polloi came out with inexpensive plastic items, so Reiss won't. He will look into the idea again of making SPACE STIX in wood.
At present Knox is not doing anything with HOLEY TERROR,
