CRIME and CACCIA AL LEOPARDO for a total of 9,300 L.
(The first was marked 7,900 L. and the second 3,700 L. - but

At home found that one card was missing from CRIME.
The box for CACCIA AL LEOPARDO was marked "Giochi Milton Bradley"

MONOPOLI.

(cont. from 2/18) [2/18]

- Parker. Randy Barton not in. Made an appointment for 3 in P.M.

- Lakeside. Spoke to Robert Kurek. He'll send me the following:
ROYAL KISMET (didn't get any details); FOUR LETTER WORDS (see catalog
for details); TILT (see catalog for details); DOUBLE CROSS;
GALLOPING GHOST. Players all write a letter and then the pads
are rotated one player and another letter is added by each - etc.
Letters can be added in any position. (Asked him to just send rules
for this.); HAUNTED MANSION GAME (see catalog) 6 - I believe - wheels 
are geared so that they all turn together. When they are
switched 1/4 turn the paths are changed, and also cardboard
figures can knock over tokens which are sent to a dungeon.
(He said he'd send it altho I didn't ask for it.)

- Hasbro. Spoke to John Lawless. Took his card and I'm to write
to him in about 2 months to remind him to send me the following:
POWER BROKER (which is Wald's), WALL STREET, SPELLBOUND (which
Howard Wexler told me was his - but I didn't get the details),
DOUBLE DEALER (which is Claude's), and THE GREAT ESTATE. (I suggested
his just sending me the flat parts of the boards and the equipment if
it would be easier. No.)

- Aurora. Spoke to Jeff Rochlis. PURSUIT and SHIFTY CHECKERS are
out; they have left this field.

- Jack Robbins & Assoc. (Room 1001, 1107 Broadway.) They have decided not 
to handle INFLATION and don't know who, if anyone, is.

Met Jerry D'Arcey and he took me for lunch at Chock Full of Nuts.
Then to Press Room, meeting Dorothy Machado Wood on the way. She
is an inventor. The last thing she had of any importance was an action 
game. Possibly HIP FLIP (but I am not sure). She is a friend of
