+Looked at Entex but there are no new games. Alex' <u>!@#C&*!</u> was
+not listed.  <br>
+Picked up the first two issues of ''<u>TOY TRADE NEWS</u>'', the special
+Toy Fair issue of ''<u>TOYS</u>''. In 2/21 issue Hasbro is listed as having
+<u>SCREWBALL</u> (a puzzle) and <u>FREE FALL</u> (an action game). Nothing
+of special interest in the 2/23 issue.  <br>
+In press room met <u>Natalie Donna</u>, then <u>Mickey Mackay</u> who took me up
+to MB [Milton Bradley] showroom. Saw the games listed above and one other,
+<u>THE ALL IN THE FAMILY GAME</u>, which Mickey says is a takeoff on
+<u>PSYCH-OUT</u>.  <br>
+Talked with <u>Dick Harris</u> and conveyed a message from <u>Felicia</u> to
+him "Did you break your arm?" He said that he would get back
+to Felicia (on <u>GIRL TALK</u> Felicia told me) right after Toy Fair.
+He also said that they might be looking at new games for
+their adult line bt Stationery Show. I said that I'd like to
+have another game with MB and told them that <u>HIGH SPIRITS</u>
+had been mine.  <br>
+I mentioned that there was a discrepancy in the changeover  <br>
