321ST DAY - 45 DAYS TO COME
----
Call from <u>Ken Morgan</u>. His lawyer says that the S.E.C.
info on R.G.I. is common knowledge and that I can tell
<u>Felicia</u> all about it.
Rcd. [received] a thank you from <u>Eve Auchincloss</u> for my revised
<u>BOOK WORLD</u> column. She was most impressed with the typing.
Rcd. [received] an ad sheet from A.H. Nothing at all new. (Discarded.)
Did a little work on my <u>ACQUIRE</u> piece but, due to problems
with the water main, couldn't accomplish much.
Call from <u>Claude</u>. He'd like me, if I am in the book stores,
to look for a copy of Murray's <u>A HISTORY OF CHESS</u> (up to
$30). He's also like me to check with <u>Pierre</u> about the
French copy of <u>WATCH</u> (IF) and if he can get a copy. (He
offered to pay the first $5 of a call.)
Called <u>Bill Eckhart</u>. <u>JUNGLE RACE</u> looks like it will be dropped.
It is not hard to play, but it seems impossible to write rules
that children can <s>expt</s> understand by themselves. <u>VIEWLINE</u>
looks like a "go". Both will go thru [through] more testing before there
is a final decision. I asked and he told me that <u>KLOMP-IT</u>
is doing very well.
Later thought of making <u>JUNGLE RACE</u> a single track game,
with movement to the next forward space with the animal
and position called - and with some provision for backward
movement. Put lines on my sketch of the existing board
to make a single track.
Called <u>Felicia</u> to tell her of my call to G.A.G. She is
glad about <u>VIEWLINE</u>
Told her about the S.E.C., saying a friend had tipped
me off. She'll tell Freidjut, altho [although] it is undoubtedy [undoubtedly] not
necessary.
