Tuesday 14 May 1968

135th day - 231 days to come

Bought a sheet of thin plastic (acetate) at Mayers for 50¢.

Felicia called:- SPECTRUM back in good condition. Mr. Spellman said he was sending [crossout] back INFINITE PLANE and the others which weren't already returned, but United Parcel Service.
Felicia gathers from some 3M salesmen that OH-WAH-REE is going to be dropped.
Arnold Shapiro wrote to Felicia about her trip to Kansas City. He'll let her know if anything develops.
The buyer at Bloomingdales is reordering ACQUIRE. She thinks HIGH BID is just taking up space.
Whiteman called and spoke to Alice. They are almost surely going to do Connor Barrett's DANGER STRAITS and as an adult game. Felicia didn't know if FOCUS was mentioned. Alice is on vacation.

Spoke to Claude. In a publication which lists forthcoming publications he saw the following book tobe published in June:-
MATHEMATICAL GAMES
by K. Lukacs
(walker & Co.)
Talked about [crossout] tentative N.Y.G.A. meeting @ his house 5/24.

The check for $500 came from Random House.

Made reproductions of the new TEMPO & INTERPLAY pages and sent them with covering letter to Atwater.

Thinking further of the GAME of 5/2 and decided to call it FITTING AND PROPER.
