25 TUESDAY - JULY 1972
ST. JAMES, APOSTLE - 207TH DAY - 159 DAYS TO COME

July TOYS came. New products had FLIGHT CAPTAIN
by Lowe. Just another PARCHEESI takeoff.
Rcd. an answer to my PLAYTHINGS request from the makers
of GOOGOL. It is children's game. Their other games
are SIX SIXTY SIX and TRAVEL CARDS, both based on quizzes.

I called Leonard Willett to tell him that I had seen Felicia
yesterday. Discussed my tax returns a little.

Oxhandler's cousin, Lester, called for the TRIPPPLES address.

Felicia called. She is preparing an ad for Rappaport's 80th
anniversary. She wanted some kind of children's puzzle
that the kids could solve and bring in. I suggested a
follow-the-dots up to #80. She asked if I could
prepare one, for pay with I.S. getting a cut. I said yes and
I'll let her arrange the payment. Also told her it wasn't
that big a deal to prepare that type of puzzle. She also
asked if I would appear at the store to play games with
children, also for pay: Why not? It will be after labor day.

POST hed mentions and extracts from two books:
GAMES FOR THE SUPERINTELLIGENT by James Fixx
(Doubleday, $4.95).
Q. Which word contains all five vowels in alphbetical order?
