<br>Picked up the registered letter - from <u>Haar Hoolim</u>. He mentions
<u>FORCES</u>, <u>FRIENDS AND FOES</u>, <u>FOCUS</u>, <u>LIVE AND LEARN</u>; <u>DOUBLE</u>; <u>PLOY</u>;
<u>Dr. Tauber</u>; <u>CHECKERS</u>, <u>CHESS</u>; <u>KING OF THE CASTLE</u>,
<u>STEPPING STONES</u>, <u>HIDEAWAY</u>; <u>TURNOVER</u> - with a separate solution,
<u>FIND THE LINE</u>; <u>CAPTURING</u>; <u>THE GAME OF STACKS!</u>
<br>Also included, a post card with picture of the Kennedy
memorial in Jerusalem and message: To Sidney Sackson &
family with Best Wishes - Haar Hoolim. (I'll give it to <u>Claude</u>.)
 
Call from <u>Fabio</u>. Bloomingdales is setting up some book signing
sessions and he asked if I minded getting together with groups
of kids - for a lecture on games and then for signing copies of
<br>BEYOND TIC-TAC-TOE!</u> O.K. with me if it sells books.
<br>A session will be about 1 1/2 hours. The dates are 9/20, 10/4,
10/18, and 11/1 - altho not necessarily all of them will be for
me. I'll be hearing from <u>Doris Bass</u> who will handle my
P.R. [public relations] for Pantheon. // Asked and he said he had signed the release for
<u>AGOG</u>, but final say is up to Random House editor. In a nice way - don't bother him.
<br>BB typed the rules for <u>FREE FOR ALL</u> and <u>DARN CLEVER</u>.
