(#)110, &111 have articles on <u>ULTIMA</u>. #106, #107, & 111 have articles  <br>
on <u>CHI CHI'S CHESS</u> (see <u>CHI CHI</u> - 12/7/68, and 12/14/68). #106 had a <br>
review of <u>CHESS VARIATIONS</u> by <u>John Gollon</u> (I bought this in  <br>
'65). #110 had review for booklet on <u>PHOTOPOULOS 3-D CHESS</u> (they  <br>
didn't care for it). #111 mentioned two of <u>Phil Cohen</u>'s variations -  <br>
<u>FREE ROTATION CHESS</u> and <u>RESTRICTED ROTATION CHESS</u>. #111 has a  <br>
variation of <u>SECRET WORD</u> which allows a player to change  <br>
his "secret word" as long as the new word agrees with  <br>
the information previously given.  <br>
Rcd. a letter from <u>John C. Rasor</u> of Xerox confirming the agreement  <br>
for me to work on the exhibit.  <br>
Rcd. a carbon of a letter from <u>Bob Gellman</u> to <u>Martine Gilchrist</u>  <br>
concerning the slides for <u>HOLIDAY</u>.
 
Rcd. the <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> check <u>Felicia</u> sent yesterday. It was  <br>
for $167.50 instead of $187.50. Called Felicia twice, but got  <br>
answering service.  <br>
In evening she called to cancel our date for Saturday. Told her  <br>
about the check. Hers was for only $62.50. I'll return my  <br>
check to <u>Bob Edwards</u>. She'll write to <u>Jim Goldsberry</u>.
 
Started working on the rewrite of the <u>LAWSUIT</u> rules.
 
Called <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. He still hasn't rcd the check for <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u>  <br>
tho <u>Hallowell</u> said it was sent out. Phil will have lunch with  <br>
Hallowell tomorrow, and will call me after.  <br>
Asked about getting copies of <u>ORBIT</u> for Xerox show.  <br>
No problem. I asked, and he said that about 25000 had  <br>
been sold. Now that <u>Reiss</u> has <u>FRENETICS</u>, however, Phil  <br>
thinks that <u>ORBIT</u> won't be pushed, even tho the former costs  <br>
$10 and the latter $5.  <br>
Phil thinks that Hallowell is in financial trouble, but may be  <br>
pulled out by his stock going public. In any case he needs  <br>
new products, and everyone is enthused about the idea of pencil  <br>
and paper games.  <br>
<u>Carl Eisenberg</u> will look at <u>SPACE STIX</u> and <u>FREE FORM</u> next week.  <br>
But even if he likes them it will be some time before they  <br>
can be put out. Hoi Polloi is having trouble, all their wood  <br>
suppliers having raised prices. Carl will have to try to  <br>
