112TH DAY - 254 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] THE GAMESLETTER (#33 & #34 Vol. 8). In #34 Don Miller mentions some magazines from Belgium. One has a game LE JEU DU LIESNARD BELLIQUEUX (Liesnard being the name of the inventor). He, Don, says it looks interesting and he would like it translated. In #34 he mentioned my BOOK WORLD column.

Called Jack Davis and told him about the Xerox exhibit. He may contact Ch. [channel] 13 to see if he can buy an aural tape of my segment on the Louise show. I'll bring down any clippings I get for him to make repros. [reproductions] He'll send these to 3M with a yearly report in June. He'll remind them again about all my help in publicizing 3M games.
We talked about POINT OF LAW and he and Audrey agree with me that it is really not a game, and is very overpriced for what is included.

Called Jim Dunnigan. Wanted to talk to him about "Simulations Design Corp.", CONFLICT, etc. (see 4/14). Not in. Left word for him to call but he didn't.

Felicia called. She rcd. a letter from Bill Dohrmann. They have held on to Lillian Voegelin's FOUR LETTER WORDS with the idea of making up a model themselves. But things are so hectic that they can't do it. They'd like to try it if Lillian or Felicia will prepare a model. I suggested Al Richter and Felicia had already thought of it. They will suggest supplying Al with the materials and then giving him a cut of the royalties for his labor. I'll tell him about it tonight and Felicia will call him after she talks to Lillian.
Bill is sending back Lillian's GIRL TALK. He thinks it is a very strong item but doesn't think they can do it justice. There is no mention of LOTTERY and Felicia will ask about it in her return letter.
Felicia said that Dick Harris was in for a quick visit. He is still interested in Lillian's WHAT'S IT WORTH IN DOLLARS? but not ready to make a decision.
Told Felicia about my call to Bob Gellman yesterday.

Bob Hallowell called. Altho he doesn't reallt like games much he
thinks that XANDO and HEXOWORD are great and he really enjoys
playing them. He asked if I could have six solitaire GAMEs
ready for publication in the fall. I said that I had 2 well along
and that I am sure I could have 6 by the fall.
He was talking to a salesman from the San Francisco area. He
told Bob that Manny Lefkowitz is saying that the p. and p. games
are the hottest new things in the line this year.

Thinking some more of my old idea for a SAFE CRACKING GAME.
Have cards to represent the combination numbers. Play one of
