THURSDAY 15 APRIL 1971
105th day - 260 days to come
Rcd. a letter from S.K. Howard (to whom I owe a letter for
almost a year). He sent me a copy of THE SOCIETY GAME
which someone sent him, out of PSYCHOLOGY TODAY magazine
(which month?) He didn't like the game.
He is glad I reviewed CARAPACE, thinking it one
of the best games in a long time.
He is glad I recommended A GUIDE TO FAIRY CHESS to him.
Rcd. a letter from Tom Atwater. He sent the AIRLINE
and TRANSFORMATION contracts to Mary Hilt the same
day he rcd. them. He is calling her (4/13)
and will let me know if there are any difficulties.
He is still waiting for the final rules for Alex' game with
Entex. THE !@#c&*! GAME. He doesn't think, however, that
gaps in a line are permitted.
He sent me the rules for TIC - TAC - TOTAL, AZTEC
previously called UP & DOWN, and SKULL ISLAND. Also
a three-D TIC - TAC - TOE by Stewart Coffin the simply uses
28 cubes - no platform. So far the GAME is unnamed.
Felicia called. (Sue's father died suddenly and Felicia has been
helping out.
Someone (who?) at Hallmark told her last Thursday that they
realized that it wasn't fair to hold up so many games for
so long. On the 9th they were supposed to have a long meeting
to determine which games they will return.
They will be sending contracts for TOTALLY and DUEL.
TROMINO GO is being returned. No word on LIVE WIRE.
Felicia has been trying to get $500 as a closing fee. They
said "no" on that but she thinks they may up the $250 somewhat.
Mary Hilt said that she rcd. [illegible crossed out] NOMINATION, CINEMA,
MARLBORO COUNTRY, and DANGER STAITS, and that she'd try
to have decisions on them within one week. (That was what Felicia
meant when she told BB that Mary had worked so fast.)
I forgot to ask about the status of FOCUS with Mary.
3M is returning WILD WOOD PILE. It is too difficult and
frustrating and they would like it made easier.
I asked Felicia if she thought we should try it with someone
else. She thinks we had better go with 3M, since they need
more puzzles.
Told Felicia that I'd probably have PLANES ready to bring
her this coming Monday. But I'll call her first.
Felicia said that a well known psychologist (I believe) Dr. Frederich Flach.
had been directed to her. He left a game he calls
ENVIRONMENT (which she'll show me when I came in) and he has
others in the works. I asked how the game was and she
said that he should stick to what he knows.

Rcd. a call from Laura Engels (I believe that this is correct)
who asked me if I know of the expression that
