Phil called while I was out and I called him back at
"Gamut of Games." [illegible word crossed out] <u>Herb Hochstetter</u> had called
him. He has the following to show for Post: <u>STEPPING STONES</u>,
<u>GOLD DIGGERS</u>, <u>ADVANCE</u>. I'll have to following: I'll have <u>BONUS</u>,
<u>POST-HASTE</u>, <u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u>, and <u>ADD-A-LETTER</u> (which I told
him I had developed to replace <u>TAKE-A-WORD</u>).
Wrote to <u>Keith Tuggle</u> about the folder he sent me on
"Light Control Film." Also mentioned the rule additions in
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>.
Wrote to <u>Kathy Brooks</u> thanking her for sending me the two
letters on <u>ACQUIRE</u>. Told her that I sent <u>FOCUS</u> booklet
to the two writers, which I did with a short thank
you note.
Wrote to <u>Earl</u>. Sent him the insurance man's name and
address again. Told him <u>Al Richter</u> would like to work on
<u>DON'T BLOW A FUSE</u>.
Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u>. (she didn't say anything about my
message yesterday.) Told her about the error in the list
price of <u>STRATO TAC-TICS</u>. She will call immediately and is
sure it can be caught. My pay for the last column is
in the works and I should be getting it by the end of
the month. She'll try and get some word on my next col-
umn when she goes to Washington this week, and will let me know.
<u>Arthur</u> called. NYGA meeting 11/2 O.K.
Thought of a possible variation of <u>ADD-A-LETTER</u>. Each
player takes 5 letters at the start and turns them face
up. These can be used whenever the player wishes.

haven't seen it). I said I would.
<u>Stanley Chess</u> called. He is now the editor and <s>published</s>
publisher of a new game magazine. He raised the
capital for a precarious start. The game companies are in-
terested and some may advertise. He wants me to write
a column and I (without thinking) told him that the
publishers of <u>S & T</u> are thinking of coming out with a
general game magazine. Didn't commit myself - but didn't
say "no."
For a while the <u>WASHINGTON POST</u> was considering pub-
lishing his magazine (being quite impressed with
the editorial content) but they are really much more in-
terested in expanding into radio and TV.
