<u>Felicia</u> called to ask which magazine I was doing a
consulting job for (<u>WOMAN'S DAY</u>). There is a possibility
she may be able to get me some more assignments
and she wants to be able to say what I have done.
She was sorry about Arthur's fall but was annoyed at having
to look for <u>POWER</u>.
I mentioned that I had reviewed <u>EVADE</u> for <u>BOOK WORLD</u> in-
stead of <u>POINT OF LAW</u>. She was annoyed that I hadn't
done <u>IMAGE</u>. Told her that I didn't have it. She said
that she gave me the rules and some of the cards
last year (later checked and it was <u>BID AND BLUFF</u>) but
then agreed that I had to play before writing a review.
Told her that I was going to see <u>Al Richter</u> Friday. She said
to tell him she tried to place his games Monday, but
no success.
Rcd. [received] a letter from <u>Bob Lanzon</u> of <u>NOST</u>, with my membership
card. He rcd. a copy of <u>GREATER ROCHESTER COMMERCE</u> with
the writeup on me! He plans to run it in <u>NOSTALGIA</u>.
A lot of the members would like to try some of my
games by mail, with me.
Working on game diary. Discovered that I had an entry of
3/23 for <u>THE STOCK MARKET GAME</u> in the index cards, but
couldn't find it on that date, or any other date with a 23
or around that time. (At end of year discovered it was 6/23)
While looking found an entry on <u>COUP D'ÉTAT</u> (4/24)
from <u>ALBION</u> magazine. It was reviewed in issue #28,
which I haven't seen.
<u>Arthur</u> called in the evening. On the 6 P.M. Ch. 2 news they had
a piece on adult games. First they had a buyer from
Hammeker Schlammer talking about a upsurge in expensive
gambling games like <u>ROULETTE</u> and somethings from Japan.
Then they had a shot of the Greenwich Village apt. [apartment] of a
stockbroker, Stephen Grossberg. He was playing <u>JUMPIN</u> with
a girlfriend. He said that he liked playing full information
games where skill was the determining factor, such as
<u>JUMPIN</u> and <u>TWIXT</u>. But there is a great game with some luck
