FRIDAY 31 JANUARY 1969
First U.S. Satellite Orbited 1958 - 31st day - 334 days to come
Dave Goodzeit from the law firm on our floor called up
Lowe to find out who I could talk to about
information for the book. He was told the following man: -
{Lowe
{Larry Hansburg
{729-4000
Later I called him. He said to go to 5th Ave. for their
current catalog but that he couldn't tell me anything
about next year.
Made another batch of repros of the book diagrams.
Felicia called. She had forgotten the name of the game Bryce
Russel showed us: ASTRO-BLITZ.
Arnold Shapiro, on the way to toy fair in Germany, called
her. He is sure X will go ahead with the games eventually,
but he can't say when.
The catalog from Shackman came. Not much on games.
Called up Martin Gardner to tell him more about DUEL CHESS and
tell him he could use it if he wants to. He said he
probably would, either in the April edition as part of the
puzzles or in May with the answers.
After this I looked in NOUVEAUX JEUX D'ECHECS NON ORTHODOXES
and found LES ECHECS A L'UNIQUE ECHEC which was the
same as the game he isusing in his column. He appreciated
my telling him of it.
On Johnny Carson program they had a game called
FUNNY BONES. There is a set of large cards, each one of
which has a statement, such as "The hand bone is
connected to the hip bone", "The head bone is connected to the
elbow bone", "The ankle bone is connected to the ankle
bone", etc. A mixed couple plays and as each card is
drawn (by another player) they attempt to hold the
card in place betweenthe two specified places. (The card
is placed there by another player.) Score, I guess, by
how many cards can be kept in place.
