do it today.
To Simulations. Got 4 copies of <u>MOVES</u> number 8. Also got the letter
on the card <u>GAME</u> that Dale and Phil told me about on 7/18.
<br>Redmund told me that they had bounced my column from <u>S&T</u> #39
because of lack of room. At first I thought he was fooling - then
I was upset. Wanted to speak to <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> but he was out to lunch.
To <u>Felicia</u> with <u>3D BOXES</u>. She called <u>George Delaney</u> (twice) and at
first he didn't seem too interested. She said that maybe we'd
show it to M.B. Then George said bring it to Karen. <u>Stan Harfenist</u>
will look at it, probably Friday, and then send it to George.
<br>I forgot to bring the contract form that <u>Bob Gellman</u> gave me for
<u>PATTON</u>.
<br>Looked at <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> and <u>INVASION</u> and they are in pretty good
shape. Also <u>TRAVELINE</u> in good shape. Hallmark may be interested
in <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u> sometime in the future. She'll show
<u>TRAVELINE</u> to MB.
<br>She asked me to check on who had seen <u>PUSHOVER</u>. (Later found only
MB and Schaper.)
<br>Took home <u>TANGLED WEB</u> (everyone's seen it). I'll take some others
next time I'm there.
<br>She said that Crisloid is interested in seeing <u>CHESS WITHOUT TEARS</u>. She
wants me to get a cut for the name. She suggested 2% (40% of
5%). I said the 15% of the 5% would be more than ample.
To "Gamut of Games." Nick there. Played <u>LANDGRAB</u> but didn't quite
finish it. <u>Phil</u> thought that it would look better to have the
central field offset. Nick and I pointed out that it would
make it hard to use my scoring system.
<br>Talked about <u>LAPS</u>. They want a rule that a player can't move
backward. I said it would be difficult to determine back-
