enemy piece. He was ready to call me about it.
Called <u>Earl Perel</u>. Asked him not to mention to 3M that I told  <br>
him I didn't have a cut off. He said he realized neither  <br>
of us could gain from this.  <br>
He suggested that I write game reviews for Consumer's Union  <br>
and offered to give me the name of the one to contact. Told him  <br>
I was too busy now to take on a new project.
Call from <u>Felicia</u>. <u>X-CHANGE-WORD</u> is being returned. Gets too hectic  <br>
even when played by 3; they think 4 should be a maximum; but  <br>
it is really only for 2 lovers of crossword puzzles, not for others.  <br>
When the 6 sets of definitions are used there is no more interest.  <br>
One player completed the puzzle with 1 mistake and lost to another  <br>
who had 3 blanks, to the disparagement of the panel.  <br>
<u>POWUR</u> is also being returned. It is too complicated for their present  <br>
needs, but possibly they may ask for it again the future. The  <br>
cardboard frame came all out of shape and they used the frame  <br>
from <u>RED LETTER</u> is their testing.  <br>
We discussed places we might send the two games to:  <br>
<u.X-CHANGE-WORD</u> - Stancraft, 3M, but not M.B. I told her.  <br>
<u>POWUR</u> - 3M, M.B. She hears there is a new man in charge of the  <br>
M.B. adult game profram; the one who headed TAG. (Transogram  <br>
Adult Games - a big flop).  <br>
<u>Herb Roth</u>'s line of games is doing great. <u>WHO CAN BEAT NIXON?</u>  <br>
however has fallen off drastically.  <br>
Someone brought her a golf <u>GAME</u> with a patentable gadget. It  <br>
is simple but realistic. She'll show it to Cadaco.  <br>
She sent two <u>PUZZLE</u>'s to Hallmark. They are hot on puzzles.
Wrote letters to: <u>Michael Dummett</u> - when we'll be in London  <br>
and could he pick up <u>HIGH FINANCE</u> for me. <u>Pierre Berloquin</u> -when  <br>
we'll be in Paris and I can bring him <u>GAMES OF THE ORIENT</u>.  <br>
NEO Press - about <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u> and <u>POLY-Y</u>. <u>Frank Armbruster</u>-  <br>
about <u>POTENTIAL</u> and <u>PSYCHE PATHS</u>. <u>Warren Buell</u> - thanks  <br>
for clippings on <u>ACQUIRE</u> and <u>MONAD</u>.
