Called <u>Martin Gardner</u> about <u>ARROW LIFE</u>. He was interested  <br>
in it, but
in it, but probably won't be doing another column on the  <br>
subject of <u>LIFE</u> for some time since he already did two.  <br>
He'll send a copy to the publisher of ''<u>LIFELINE</u>'' magazine.  <br>
Martin happened to mention that he had just sent in a column  <br>
on cube dissection puzzles other than <u>SOMA</u>, incliding  <br>
one, called <u>THE DIABOLICAL CUBE</u>, which he found in an  <br>
old puzzle book. It has 6 pieces - a 2 cube, 3 cube, 4 cube, 5 cube,  <br>6 cube, and 7 cube. <u>Conway</u>, who was visiting Martin went thru  <br>
the possibilities in about 10 minutes and discovered that  <br>
there were only a few (I don't remember how many) solutions. <br>
I mentioned <u>Jerry D'Arcey</u>'s <u>IMPUZZABLES</u>, and he would  <br>
like to mention them. Told him that I'd get a set for  <br>
him and then we'll get together and he'll see them and  <br>
<u>ARROW LIFE</u>. He is not sure that he will be able to add them  <br>
to the already prepared column, but if he can't he will be able  <br>
in the next month.  <br>
Called Padilla, Sarjeant, Sullivan, & Spear. <u>Tom Nelson</u> is now working  <br>
in Minneapolis. Also they no longer handle Lakeside.
 
Called <u>Eve Auchicloss</u> at ''<u>WASHINGTON POST</u>'' office. Not in.  <br>
Supposed to call back but didn't.
 
<u>Claude</u> called. He is working on a game to show Friday that he  <br>
calls <u>INSTANT DIPLOMA</u>. Players get various "licenses" to steal,  <br>
