my review. It also plugs me, <u>AGOG</u>, and ''<u>S & T</u>''.
my review. It also plugs me, <u>AGOG</u>, and ''<u>S & T</u>''.


Rcd. a letter
Rcd. a letter from <u>Graeme Levin</u> of ''<u>GAMES & PUZZLES</u>''. Mentions  <br>
<u>POKOL</u>, <u>MONOPOLY</u>, my contributions to the magazine,  <br>
''<u>LE TRUC</u>'' and <u>AGOG</u> (he'd like a copy and I should bill him),  <br>
<u>FOCUS</u>, <u>PATTERNS II</u>, <u>COMBINATION</u>, <u>THE GAME</u> & <u>POLYOPTOMY</u>  <br>
(but didn't send the info I requested), and asks if I  <br>
know of an American company looking for an excellent  <br>
Stock Exchange game (<u>SPECULATE</u>, I guess).
 
Rcd. two letters from I.R.S. concerning my claims for  <br>
1969 & 1970. Called <u>Leonard Willett</u> and I'll go to his  <br>
office next Tuesday to go over my figures.
 
Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u> at the ''<u>WASHINGTON POST</u>'' office.  <br>
Checked on timing for my article on games. She wouldn't mind  <br>
having it sooner, but middle of August will bo O.K. (or was  <br>
it end of July?). Told her about ''<u>THE GAME ROOM</u>'' in  <br>
''<u>CHICAGO TRIBUNE</u>''. She's going to try and use that as ammunition  <br> 
for getting me in weekly in the''<u>WASHINGTON POST</u>''.  <br>
 
Got an idea for a game for HASBRO with a possible  <br>
name <u>THE GENTLE ART OF POLITICS</u>. Players get control of  <br>
various factors (Mayor, City Council, Judge, etc.)  <br>
by offering bribes in secret at the start. Then with  <br>
special dice they work towards taking away control.  <br>
Certain dice throws call for a "Deal" between several of  <br>
the factions for various amounts of money. (See my old  <br>
games of <u>MARTENIQUE</u> in card file and <u>SOCIETY</u> in "To be  <br>
processed" box on shelf [26].)  <br>
 
Bought 4 sheets of thin white cardboard and one each  <br>
