''<u>LE TRUC</u>'' and <u>''AGOG''</u> (he'd like a copy and I should bill him), <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 be 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> | |||
