Told Alice that Proctor & Gambel had used <u>VENTURE</u> as the name <br> | |||
of a simulation game, the then have no protection on it, <br> | |||
not even a valid copyright. We also agreed that we both didn't <br> | |||
like the name <u>MONAD</u> for <u>INFINITE PLANE</u>: She will write to <br> | |||
Will with these comments. <br> | |||
Felicia was wrong yesterday when she said that Alice had <br> | |||
spoken to Will lately and had heard from him that <br> | |||
<u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> wo had arrived. There is no word of this yet. <br> | |||
She located the letter from Bob Claude about <u>THESE UNITED STATES</u>. <br> | |||
It said that their <s>examp</s> examination had shown promise and <br> | |||
they expected that the test panels would confirm it. <br> | |||
She has written to Arnold Shapiro <s>ask</s> thanking him for their <br> | |||
check and also asking him confidentially if their game program <br> | |||
would ever get off the ground. <br> | |||
She is waiting to hear from Mr. Luongo of Selchow & Righter <br> | |||
about the <u>BALI</u>. They are taking their time. When she sees <br> | |||
him again she'll sound him out on looking at games now. She has <br> | |||
heard that he intends to make up a lot of their games himself, <br> | |||
but he did tell her he would be looking. <br> | |||
She expects that Mary Hilt of Whitman will be in soon <br> | |||
and we'll get together and show her some things. | |||
Called Lee Horn. Not in. Told her secretary that Pierce and Snoddy were here | |||
and for her to call me if she wanted to here about it, she never <br> | |||
called back. <br> | |||
BB and I played <u>LE TRUC</u> with 5 cards each. BB suggested letting each player | |||
replace as many cards as they wish. This gave better hands and <br> | |||
was good. Did some writing. Played a couple of games with Morris <br> | |||
and he liked it. | |||
