Letter from <u>Graeme Levin</u>, asking about Toy Fair. He'll bring
game for me when he comes.
<br>Call from <u>Bob Gellman</u> with a question on how to set up <u>KONO</u>.
<br>Thought of the idea of using plastic overlays for <u>WIRETAP</u>, both
for the one setting up and the one solving the setup. Number tiles will
keep track of the info rcd. It will be necessary to have one of
each, rather than two setups working at the same time as with the p & p version.
<br>Also, to call for more deduction, a player can ask for the con-
tents of an entire row or column - not in order of course - instead
of asking for a specific space.
<br>Went thru game duplicates downstairs and came up with <u>MYWORD!</u> and
<u>CARTEL</u> to bring as present for Ritchie Soucie. Also took out
<u>STAR REPORTER</u>, to give to <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.
<br>To <u>Claude</u>'s in evening for supper. <u>Earl Perel</u> (and a girl friend and
her son) and <u>Issy Rothman</u> (and Betty and Barbara) there too.
Gave <u>Claude</u> his cut of the last <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> royalty.
Played <u>PEACE CONFERENCE</u>. Issy and Earl played entire game.
A friend of Ritchie's started and then was replaced by Earl's
girl friend's son. <u>Claude</u> started and I replaced him.
<u>Ritchie</u> saw <u>BAZAAR</u> in a neighborhood store. I asked Claude to
pick up a copy (for <u>Carla Evans</u>) regardless of the price.
Claude gave me the Dec. '76 <i>Scientific American</i>.

----
the number of letters in the word or the number of times
it appears - without specifying. Score is based on the two
numbers multiplied, but didn't get details.
<br>Saw a box with <u>Andy Luftig</u>'s <u>SUSPENSE</u>. It looked interesting
but complex. Felicia said that it is a good idea, but there
is something lacking. Andy will split with me if I can fix it.
Will look at it when I get a little free time.
