<br>Call from <u>Pierre Berloquin</u> in the evening, from Kennedy. He is
working on a newspaper <u>GAME</u> for <u>LE MONDE</u>, and Miro will pub-
lish it. He has a new play principle. He asked me what
games have been done based on newspapers. Told him about <u>SCOOP</u> (P.),
<u>STAR REPORTER</u> (P) and <u>THE FRONT PAGE</u>. He didn't seem to be in-
terested in the details.
<br>I asked him to keep an eye on interesting new French games
for me. He said that not much is being done. He did say
that there is a <u>GAME</u> that uses pcd. similar to <u>Mark Odier</u>'s.
It is put out by "Compagnie Géneral de Jouet" (C.G.J.) and he'll send
me a copy.
<br>I tried to emphasize that we could, and should, help each other. I
mentioned that my getting him together with <u>Martin Gardner</u>
had been good for both of them. He said that appreciate it
very much.
<br>This morning in talking about the doing in Washington, he mentioned
that in a newspaper interview <u>Randy Barton</u> couldn't answer any ques-
tions on the history of <u>MONOPOLY</u>.
