27 THURSDAY - APRIL 1972
118TH DAY - 248 DAYS TO COME


ordered the following two books (and a cookbook and 10 records)
from "Publisher's Central Bureau" : - MATHEMATICAL DIVERSIONS,
ILLUSTRATED GAMES OF PATIENCE.

Joan Silbert called. I'll go there next Tuesday about 12 to 12:30.

Felicia called to get Al Richter's phone number. She wanted to cancel
a date with him for today.
Yesterday she told me about a new client, Bradford E. Bailey
who came to her thru M.B. They think highly of him. He
is bringing a number of his games to her next Tuesday
at 10:30 and she'd like me to meet him. Told her I'd be
there.
Bailey has something at Hallmark and Felicia confirmed
from Jim Goldsberry that an option is coming
for it. The name SECRET SYNTHESIS - a puzzle game.

Bob Hallowell called. He was very enthused about an idea
for a TV game show that Fred Gwynne (who came up with
HEAD TENNIS) thought of. Some notes on it - Sit
down panel; Introduce suspense; Object to identify sounds;
Audience hears sounds and later sees visual; Some sounds
live and some on tape; Some for quick identification with
a buzzer, others to choose from a number of possibilities.
They want me in work up the game angle. TV GAME.
Bob had Fred Gwynne call me and talk about it. Actually
he was less enthused than Bob. We'll get together to
brain-storm the idea. He'll talk to Bob about a time
and one of them will call me.
Gwynne would like for the three of us to keep control
