Spoke to Claude. He is sick with a cold and had to miss a meeting with Paul Milazzo who is hot on ELECTRONIC PLAYMATE and wants 5 games to play on it.

Spoke to Arthur. The fellow who is redoing his HIGH DECK to has worked out a packaging as part of a book. Athur has contacted Random House and they are interested in seeing it again.

Rcd. a notice of a registered letter - probably from Haar Hoolim.

Rcd. a letter from Frank Thibault. Sent a clipping from the Minneapolis Tribune mentioning me and picturing ACQUIRE. Also the color ad from a California paper. Mentioned his games:- SQUIGGLE, TACK & MOBY DICK. Also mentioned Jerry D'Arcey's games CHERRY PIE and COUP D'ÉTAT. Jerry will be in New York in a few weeks and wants my phone number. He also mentioned his game CHANNELWORD and that SQUIGGLE is somewhat similar to TANGLE. Mentioned that the October and November 1966 issues of the AMERICAN BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST MAGAZINE are devoted to learning simulation games.

In my conversation with Arthur he mentioned seeing a magazine called FEATURES which had the release Bill Bentzin put out on me. He saw it at the ad agency that is doing his cards. He said he'd check where it can be obtained.
