At the 110 Flea Market bought the following games: KEYWORD, EUCLID (which is a TANGRAMS variation), THE APOLLO SPACE ROCKET CHECKER GAME. Also bought 13 small pads for $1.00, 5 black Bic pens for 50¢, 3 small plastic boxes for 10¢, and 4 decks of cards for $1.00.

has is with Alice McElhone (??). He said that TOTALLY (I be- lieve) is in her "UnCommon Games" catalog. He will be seeing her next week and, at my request, will ask her to see me a catalog. Another contact is with S&R, and this is where he'd like the game to go.
I asked if I had omitted the sample of my column. Yes. Asked and he'd like to see it. Promised to send one.
Looked over the John Gollon folder, but didn't get a chance to write.

is doing a book MATHEMATICAL GAMES CARNIVAL by Martin Gardner. It seemed to be a scattered assortment of columns from his columns. Fabio asked Fay to get me a copy.
To see Barbara Weinstein. We discussed my presentation at Bloomingdales. She will see that I get a blackboard and a blow-up of VASARELY (which we decided to use instead of SPRINGER) with a plastic overlay for reuse. Also there will be sheets to give each kid, with crayons and card- board backings. I suggested distributing the sheets with COMBINATION that J.D. had run off for me to use at Hallmark. She said it would detract from the book. I brought up the idea of a "party" game again. She vetoed it again. She'll call me the beginning of the week of 10/14 to make final plans.
To "Games Gallery" and gave the list of names to John Stephenson. John had a game for me that he wasn't handling (because of the packaging) - UNI-SPEC. He asked me for the wholesale price - $4.00. He suggested that I redo the boards for PATTON and MACARTHUR, putting them on hexes - so that they will be true "starters" games. I said that I always have to do something that is original. He is getting an oil simulation GAME soon which he is sure I'll be in- terested in. It will retail for $20 and I asked John to let me look at it before he gets one for me. He said that he'll be handling it and that I can study it as much as I want. I showed him the copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE and he called Pantheon to ordered a dozen.
