Rcd. a call from
Rcd. a call from Mr. Morin of Random House concerning ''<u>AGOG</u>''. The <br>
"permission" was for another book. They are now checking the<br>
rest of my report to see if that is in error too. I'm to call<br>
him Tuesday to get the results.<br>
 
Call from <u>Felicia</u>; <u>Gini Scott</u> had been there for a long time<br>
and made liberal use of the phone. In turn Gini said that she'd<br>
have someone at M.B.'s educational line call Felicia. Felicia had been<br>
trying to reach him without success. (Gini kept her promise.)<br>
Felicia decided not to handle Gini.<br>
<u>Alan Turoff</u> came in while Gini was there and asked if Springbok<br>
was coming out with his item. Gini appeared not to notice, but<br>
Gini said that <u>SCREWBALL</u> earned about $7,000. Someone else gets a share.<br>
<s>Doing some catching up on game diary</s><br>
 
In evening called the Americana. <u>Frank Thibault</u> called me back. He<br>
has a date tomorrow to show <u>STACTICS</u> and <u>RAC-A-TAC</u> to Hasbro.<br>
They'll call me tomorrow about picking up Jerry and (probably)<br>
bringing Frank to the airport.<br>
Frank said that Minor is interested in <u>GO BUGGIE</u>.

bought it out and may move it elsewhere if he can get a better deal.<br>
Jerry has the possibility of an action game and a children's<br>
game with Saalfield.<br>
Frank showed <u>STACTICS</u> to Hasbro even tho that fellow told <s>them</s><br>
him they were working on something similar themselves. Frank<br>
has shown it everywhere so there is no big loss if they steal it.<br>
Frank spoke to the people at Wham-O and told them they had a <br>
bad reputation and no one wanted to submit things to them. They<br>
were quite concerned.<br>
Frank has a possible outdoor <u>GAME</u> with a manufacturer. Large dice<br>
that are knocked out of a circle. (Very rough idea.)
