<u>Felicia</u> called early to catch me before I went out.
<u>Chuck Dougherty</u> is in town today and tomorrow and perhaps
we can get together to brainstorm a TV <u>GAME</u>. Told her that
I could today but not tomorrow.
Later she called that Chuck was too busy today. He'll set
something up next time he is in New York.
Called <u>Marvin Channing</u>. Out for the day. Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u>.
She is in Europe and will be back next week. First call about
<u>ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS</u>. Second about <u>BOOK WORLD</u>; I still
haven't been paid for the last column.
Drew up layouts for <u>NO WAY</u> and <u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u> on the same
sheets. Got 18 repros [reproductions] on Boston Road. Also repros of
the two refund checks from I.R.S. before depositing them
in Knickerbocker. Got $350 check for <u>Leonard Willett</u> and got
repro of it.

Also brought me a letter from <u>Allister Macintyre</u> who
is involved in a project called <u>OPERATION CONTACT</u>, which is an
attempt to list all intellectual game and also a listing
of game players around the country. He asked for my advice
on this project, also on selling his [illegible word crossed out] game <u>REVOLT!</u>

games listed, most with the company. Without researching
