<br>Called just after 5 and spoke to <u>Jim Walsh</u>. He was very pleasant | |||
and forthright. He said that one of the <u>GAMES</u> - sent in by | |||
<u>Norman Fabricant</u> he was pretty sure - was very similar in appearance | |||
to mine, with the same jackpots, but there is more interaction | |||
between the players, which is why they prefer it to <u>PICK YOUR POISON</u>. | |||
But they are not sure that they are taking it. | |||
<br>Called <u>Felicia</u> to tell about the call. I said that I didn't think they | |||
were cheating me and she said that she is sure that <u>Mel Taft</u> | |||

<br><u>Alan Newman</u>, she told me, has a device that "shoots" marbles into | |||
the barrel of a "gun" to indicated moves, etc. Then Mattel came | |||

having seen it to steal it, Felicia's lawyer thinks that he might be | |||
able to get some money from Mattel as long as Alan can prove he had | |||
the idea first. (??) | |||
