Took a copy of <u>S&T</u>
Took a copy of <u>S&T</u> #45.
 
At Metropolilan bought an Italian-American Dictionary for $2.75.
The binding was slightly bruised.
 
To <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Gave him the <u>REALM</u> changed and told him
that I had spent 12 hours on it. I'll take the money when I
get the money for <u>INFINITY</u>. Took [illegible strikeout] a set of black
pcs. for <u>REALM</u>, so that the set is now complete.
 
I asked about the $100 (see 7/26) I rcd. Phil said it was
for <u>REALM</u> in advance - and will probably be more than I'll
earn for 1974. A asked about shares for I-Q. Wait until
there is something appreciable. (I think this exchange took place
today.)
 
Talked about <u>THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN</u>. It is to be for ages 6 to 10. 2 to 4.
Among the special gifts: Run 60 miles an hour; Computer
Vision; Super strength; Speed & endurance in water; Ability
to take big falls; computer intelligence. [Later I saw the
original 1/2 hour program and the computer intelligence doesn't

date 8/12 at 11 a.m. for me to bring him my ideas. (He'll be
in California all next week.
 
I asked him about <u>Andy Luftig</u> and <u>COUNTER INTELLIGENCE</u>. He
said that he had looked at it as a personal favor to
<u>Bob Reiss</u>, who was interested in a deal with the ad
agency that Andy worked for then. (He has his own
now.) Phil asked about <u>COUNTER INTELLIGENCE</u>. I said it was
a good game and explained how it worked.
 
Phil said that he'd rather have a sophisticated mystery
game, of the type of "Columbo" on TV. Since I have
no record of <u>SUSPENSE</u> being used, he'd like that as a name.
We'll discuss the project further in September.
 
As for Felicia showing him items - he definitely doesn't want
to see any outside items for the forseeable future.
 
Gave Phil the rules for <u>THE GOOD EARTH</u> (and forgot to get repros -
but I still have the rough set. Discussed the drawings with
<u>Al Zygier</u>.
 
Played 4-hand <u>INFINITY</u>, pack of us playing two hands and made some notes. He liked
