Rcd. a U.P.S. package with <u>221B BAKER STREET</u> and
<u>THE SEX CONNECTION</u>. (With an invoice.)
<br>Rcd. the Aladdin statement - for 1st quarter-ended 7/20/75
<br><u>TOTALLY</u> - $257.68 remaining from Prepaid Balance.
<br><u>INTERSECTION</u> - $1,441.15 remaining from Prepaid Balance.
<br><u>PUSHOVER</u> - $1,177.05 remaining from Prepaid Balance.
<br>Rcd. <u>THE SAVINGS GAME</u>.
<br>Called <s>Marylin</s> <u>Marilyn Nierenberg</u> (she was supposed to call me)
and discussed some points on my article for
<u>THE FAMILY CREATIVE WORKSHOP</u>. I'll go there at 10 next Weds,
and she'll set the photographing for 1 so that she can go over
my material.
Wrote up <u>ANAGRAMS</u>.
<br>Rcd. 2 calls from <u>Miranda Barry</u> of Ch. 13's "Children's Television
Workshop. She got my number from <u>Mike Alber</u>. They are pre-
paring an adult level production dealing with fortune telling
and set <s>in the</s> around the turn of the century. She asked if
"Ouija" was out then. I checked in <u>YOUNG FOLKS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF <s>SPORTS</s> GAMES AND SPORTS</u>
and it wasn't listed there. She liked the "Fortune Telling with Dots" and
I read her the info on it. Her second call was on Tarot Cards - if
they were around then. Told her they dated back to 14th or 15th cen-
tury. She took my address to let me know when the program will be
on- sometime next year.
<br>Got together with <u>Claude</u> and Anne. Gave Claude check for $15.27,
for 2nd quarter <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>.
He picked up two games by "Kardolette, Inc." for a total of $3.50.
The games are <u>KARDOLLETTE</u> and <u>CUKU BRIDGE</u>.
I brought along my large compass to make circles on two pcs. of
cardboard for Claude. He is working on a <u>COPS & ROBBERS</u> games.
General idea: the board is made up of two large discs with win-
dows in places. One player is the "robber" and manipulates the
board - which is held vertically - trying to get his pc.
into a high scoring "loot" spaces. The others try and
manipulate their pcs. to "catch" the robber by landing in the same space.
[drawing of circular board, shaded in, with 4 unshaded squares inside]
<br>Gave them a copy of <u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u> and autographed it.
Called <u>John C. Stephenson</u> about the list of names (see 7/11).
By the end of Sept. is O.K. He said that he realized that I was
doing him a favor. (During day.)
