Called Ira Lubow at Renwal (see 5/8). He wants an Industrial 
Designer to Work on the football GAME. Spoke a little and are
both looking forward to meeting each other.

Thought of a variation of TEMPO. A piece on the edge can move 
along the edge if the next space on the inside is occupied.
This gives greater mobility and eliminates the necessity of the 
special corner diagonal move, but it makes the perpetual move 
draw much easier to [crossout] occur. Decided not to do anything with it 
right now.

Thought of another variation for STATEMENT (possible 
name "Empires"). The state cards are placed face up in 
5 columns of 10 cards each. Players in turn take one card
from top and take possession of that state. The first three
cards each takes are separated states. After that can [crossout] only
take a state adjoining one you already have. One with most 
states wins. On for more advanced children - the most elec-
toral votes.
