In connection with <u>Bill Tyler</u>'s mention of <u>THREE PLAYER CHESS</u> I
looked at Brentano's catalog again. Found a section I missed on
"Chess" which, [illegible strikeout] among others, showed <u>CHESS DICE</u> and <u>THREE PLAYER CHESS</u>.
Another section- "Divination" - showed, among others, <u>NUMEROLOGY</u>,
<u>GALAXY GAZER</u>, <u>JAMES BOND 007 TAROT GAME</u>, <u>ESP</u>, and <u>I CHING</u>.

mailed it to me, but then located it. He'll hold on to it.<br>
Someone sent him a program for solving a lot of
<u>TANGRAMS</u> problems that had never been solved before--
such as that there are only 18 possible 5 sided
figures that can be made with a set, and also what they are.
 
Call from <u>Alan Newman</u>. He was wondering if he had to use
<u>Felicia</u> where he already had a contact prior to meeting
Felicia. For instance he had a very good relationship with
D.D.I. They almost took a game of his -<s>SUPER STAR</s>
<u>THE SUPERSTAR GAME</u>- but finally after months said
no.<br>
He has a word <u>GAME</u> which he says is very different.
He called S&R [Selchow and Righter] and they said they'd like to see if after
Toy Fair.<br>
Felicia once gave him an assignment and he came up
with <u>THE GREAT AMERICAN ECOLOGY GAME</u>. While he was doing
it Felicia showed another game to International Paper (I
believe) and they liked it and didn't want to look at Alan's.
I tried to show Alan both sides of the story but didn't give
him any specific advice.<br>
Alan would like to make a living from games and I told him to
wait until he could live on his game income for at least two years.
His family may finance his games. I told him to allow lots for publicity.<br>
He has sent an article to <u>NEW YORK</u> mag. [magazine] with a quick return. Another
mag. [magazine] <u>CITY GAMES</u>- a local sports mag. [magazine]- was interested in his writing<br>
