about <u>3D BOXES</u>, but without success.
<br>I told her about the call from <u>Alan Newman</u> and his mentioning that
his game <u>THE SUPERSTAR GAME</u> was being considered by D.D.I. She

sales commissions. Later she said they were reducing the commissions.

<u>PATHFINDER</u>. I told her it wasn't. Dick also thought that
<u>THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE</u> was too much like their
<u>WHICH WITCH?</u>
BB gave me a set of cards that <u>Claude</u> had once given her with
artistic faces. 2 are missing.
