from <u>COMPUTER DECISIONS</u> on "When will a computer be world <u>CHESS</u> champion?";

Futurist," also an ad for it; "Guide" for <u>PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT GAME</u>
by "Westinghouse Learning Corp."; Cartoon on war-gaming from "Punch"
magazine.
<br>Rcd. <u>SIGNAL</u> &#35;83. "SDC" news is that <u>CONFLICT</u> magazine has been
suspended: Games available are <u>KHALKIN-GOL</u>, <u>BATTLE FOR HUE</u>,
<u>BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM</u>. "AH" news mentions "Origins I" and
<u>DIPLOMACY</u>, <u>WAR IN THE EAST</u>, <u>DUNGEONS & DRAGONS</u>; also <u>THE GENERAL</u>,
<u>PANZERBLITZ</u>, <u>JUTLAND</u>, <u>TOBRUK</u>. "Morningside" news mentions

<u>EMPIRE</u> (S. Bowden), <u>WAR OF WIZARDS</u> -with a rare- (TSR),
<u>MODERN BATTLES</u> (S.P.I.), <u>BATTLE FOR GERMANY</u> (S.P.I.).


Called <u>Ed Schiffman</u>. Asked what the situation on <u>INTERSECTION</u>
was and he was a little <s>vaug</s> vague. However he wants the
6x6 model returned. Told him I'd do it today. I asked how
soon he'd like me to send him my rules changes. Also the
solitaire changes for <u>PUSHOVER</u>. By Labor Day is certainly
soon enough.
<br>He asked when I would be reviewing the Aladdin games in
<u>G&P</u>. Told him that I don't write regularly for them - it is
<u>S&T</u> that I write for regularly. Told him that I have already
covered <u>BARRIER</u> and <u>TOTALLY</u>, and <u>TRIPPPLES</u> before
Aladdin took it over. He asked and I promised to send the
two columns to him. I also said I'd try to get something
in <u>G&P</u>. <s>Told</s> Asked him if <u>Felicia</u>'s request to send me a
review copy of <u>BALI</u> went thru. He doesn't know, but he'll
send me one.
<br>They are very busy trying to get their selling force in shape
to push their present line - to the point where they are
neglecting next year's line. This was originally supposed
to add 6 new games, but they have cut it to 4.
To post office. Sent <u>INTERSECTION</u> model to Ed - insured.
Sent repros [reproductions] of the following Dutch booklets to <u>John Gollon</u>-
printed matter: <u>TRIO</u>, <u>HET GERAMS WERELD SCHAAKSPEL</u>,
<u>HANDLEIDING VOOR HET "NOVO-SHAAKSPEL"</u>, <u>NEO-SCHAAK</u>.
Wrote to <u>Ed Schifman</u> sending him the reviews for
<u>TRIPPPLES</u>, <u>BARRIER</u>, and <u>TOTALLY</u>.
