Call from Chuck Titus (in Anne Arbor). He and his partner have redone PSYCHE-PATHS and given it a new name. The rules are essentially the same, but the tiles and everything else are much more attractive. He asked my advice on marketing it and I gave him whatever info I could without giving away Felicia's stock in trade.
I asked about Y and POLY-Y and they are being published in England (not by Nelson).
I thanked him for the info he sent me on "Capital Gains."

Call from Felicia with a question on the spelling of RUMMICUB- on the box it is hard to tell.

Wrote reviews of REALM, INFINITY, and THE SIX PACK --- for Phil Orbanes to send for G&P. (Made a pencil copy for myself.)
Called Phil to see if next Tuesday was O.K. to bring them. No. I'll bring them tomorrow, altho he won't be there.

Working on the board for FOUR-ARMED BANDIT.
