Rcd. 5 copies of a publicity release for <u>BEYOND TIC-TAC-TOE</u>, with a
letter from <u>Francine Shillet</u>.

<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> - both $0.0.

review copy of <u>CHECKMATE</u>, and asking for advice in marketing
it.
<br>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She wants to go ahead with the deal she called
me about before. I will give (not loan) her $1,500 and she
will write to 3M telling them to sent [sic] 85% of the royalties to me
and 15% to I-S. Her share of <u>HOLIDAY</u> will also go from
25% to 15%; <u>PATTON</u> and <u>MACARTHUR</u> from 15% to 10%. Also
anything I sell myself - including the German deal - will not re-
quire any payment to her. Aladdin is not affected.
She will put it in writing and would like the money well before
8/10.
<br>Called <u>Claude</u> and spoke to him a little about <u>LOA</u> and <u>Phil Cohen</u>,
but still not in complete detail.
<br>2nd call from <u>Felicia</u>. She rcd. some mail with orders that
should have gone to "Gamut of Games." They sent a secretary to
pick it up and sent her a copy of <u>MYWORD!</u> She asked if it was
mine.
<br>Call from <u>Earl Perel</u>. Nothing particularly on games. Arranged to
meet at his apt. tomorrow afternoon.
<br>Finished <u>S&T</u> column by writing up <u>FOUR LETTER WORDS</u>,

didn't mention by name but Phil said he knew about). I'm also
to pick up the material he has when I am around.
<br>Call from Annette Thompson of <u>WOMEN'S SPORTS</u> <s>MAG</s> Magazine.
She also got my name from <u>Mike Alber</u>. They have a column-
run by Greg Hoffman, on "Sedentary Sports" and are inter-
ested in photographing some antique games. Told her that I
had very few of these. Told her that, in addition to Parker's
archives, the Essex Institute has a good collection.
She, I believe, was going to suggest that I do some writing
for them, but I told her about <u>Gini Scott</u>. She was quite
pleased with that. (The mag is based in San Mateo, Cal.)
