Caught up on game diary.
Wrote to <u>AGOG</u> reader that I couldn't give him an opinion on
<u>APBA BASEBALL</u>.
Wrote to <u>S.K. Howard</u>. Enclosed rules for <u>PHALANX</u> (Whitman) and
the rules and a sketch of the board for <u>ZODIAC STAR CHESS</u>.
<br>Playing around with <u>ANAGRAMS</u> and thinking of giving a
bonus for putting tiles into a solid figure 2x2 or larger. To
be worked out.
Played <u>QUICK TRIP</u> with BB, each using 2 movement cards that they
pick out at the beginning for the entire game. Worked
very well.
BB finished the woven board for <u>LASCA</u>. Quite nice. I rubber
cemented the poker chips and put black 1/4" contact circles
on one side of each. Playing around with the game and it is
interesting.

<br>[address]
<br>She said that finances are rough and she is discouraged with so
many things bouncing. One of <u>Alan Newman</u>'s things is still
alive at Parker but she is afraid that <u>Andrea Donahue</u>'s
taking over for <u>Mike McCarthy</u> might be bad.
<br><u>Bill Dohrmann</u> has moved up and has a lot of say about everything.
She said that she wants to get me a copy of <u>BALI</u> so that I can re-
view it. Told her that <u>Ed Schifman</u> had already sent me one.
<br>Called <u>Fabio</u> and he will send copies of <u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u> to
<u>Elizabeth Brower</u> and <u>Martin Gardner</u>.
I asked, and he'll check with <u>Barbara Weinstein</u> about what they
can do for the Bloomingdale presentation.
<br>Call from <u>Kevin Zucker</u> of S.P.I. Someone sent him a 3-hand
