WEDNESDAY 28 JULY 1971
209th day - 156 days to come


Rcd. a letter from Charles Schaeffer thanking me for my comments
on EFFIGY and my offer to review it if they place it.
Rcd. a letter from Tom Atwater with rules for a game called
SYMMETRIC SURROUND, asking if it was original.
Also sent $4.90 as 2nd quarter royalty on TEMPO, INTERPLAY,
and ODD OR EVEN.

Realized that I hadn't specified in my conversation with Martin
yesterday thata player should only be forced to jump over an
enemy piece. He was ready to call me about it.

Called Earl Perel. Asked him not to mention to 3M that I told
him I didn't have a cut off. He said he realized neither
of us could gain from this.
He suggested that I write game reviews for Consumer's Union
and offered to give me the name of the one to contact. Told him
I was too busy now to take on a new project.
