At Dr. Schwartz, preparatory to plane flight to Chicago, "he was very
insistent that my book be called <u>BEYOND COMPETITION</u>, and he hated
<u>BEYOND RIVALRY</u>. He also insisted on calling {<u>Vincent K. Murtha</u> [telephone number]
who is a specialist on office & business
management. He is also sold on the
original name. He wants to meet me, altho I tried to tell him that the
games were not that profound. But he insisted and we arranged for him to
come over 9:30 tonight. Later he cancelled and we set it for next Thurs. [Thursday] at
2 in the afternoon. He wanted to see me before I went to Chicago but I said
that I just couldn't manage it.
Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Altho they like <u>THE RIGHT WORD</u> they decided that 1978 is
too soon for Ideal to do a word game. Maybe the year after. They are also not
going to do <u>WIRETAP</u> - too many imitations of <u>MASTERMIND</u> coming out. He'll
come here on 3/30 to return them to me, 10 A.M.
