Working on <u>UP THE ORGANIZATION</u>. In evening played with BB, Dana, <u>Dale, and Phil</u>. Used a small board I sketched on 82 x 82 and improvised some rules as a I went along. Not bad.
 
BB finished typing the <u>S&T</u> and <u>BOOK WORLD</u> columns. Dale read them both and had a few corrections before the typing.
 
In <u>TIMES</u> Doubleday had a book ad, including <u>AGOG</u> - by Sid Jackson. Also an ad for <u>MUNICH DECATHLON</u>. (Both filed in 1972 misc.)

<u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>, <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH IN DOLLARS?</u> and <u>GIRL TALK</u> (by <u>Lilian Voeglin</u>), <u>LOG JAM</u>, <u>SHOW BUSINESS</u>, <u>TRIAD</u>, <u>GOLD</u> (Felicia called it <u>THE MONEY GAME</u>) (<u>Bob Gellman</u> gave her a letter of intent on this and she told Merholz about it), <u>BALLS & CHAINS</u>, <u>ASK IT</u>, <u>QUICKSAND</u>, <u>BEAT POLLUTION</u>, <u>FREEDOM</u>.
 
She showed him some of <u>Al Richter's</u> things with no success. An associate of Merholz' will be in sometime in the future to look at more things.
 
She asked and I told her my opinion of <u>TACTICS</u>. Told her that it was a good puzzle of its kind. She rcd. a letter from <u>Jim Kraus</u>, who now has the title of "Market Coordinator." <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> is being returned under separate cover. Since their plans for <u>PROFIT</u> are completely undetermined, we can have it back if we ask. They are very enthusiastic over <u>IMAGE</u>.
 
She rcd. a letter from 3M's account in answer to her complaint about the royalties going all to me. He'll take care of it.
 
She rcd. a letter from <u>Bob Johnson</u>. <u>DUEL</u> is definitely "in the hopper." It is still <u>Jim Goldsberry</u>'s favorite and is becoming his. They are so busy getting things ready now that they aren't looking at anything new for awhile.
 
We discussed what to do about <u>PROFIT</u> and decided that, since American Greetings works from rules, I will get a copy of the rules and a description of the cards and she'll send it to him. He seemed interested in a stock market game altho, Felicia says, they are all bombing. I mentioned <u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU</u> and I'll also prepare similar material on it to send to American Greetings. I'll also try and get <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> ready as soon as possible to submit to them.
 
<u>Herb Hochstetter</u> called. He'd like to get together with (cont. on 8/26)
