(cont. from 8/11)  [8/11]
In my meeting with <u>Carl Eisenberg</u> he told me that he had signed  <br>
with <u>Phil Orbanes</u> to do <u>DREAM MASTER</u> and <u>AQUARIUS 2</u>,  <br>
both using the <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u> mold. Phil signed a clause giving  <br>
Carl first refusal rights on anything Phil does on the occult.  <br>
Carl wanted some kind of clause from me, but Itold him  <br>
that I couldn't give it to him covering all puzzles, and it would  <br>
be impossible to pin down the type of puzzle. He agreed.  <br>
Dropped in at skunk works. Spoke to <u>Red Simonsen</u>. End of next  <br>
week will be fine for my column for ''<u>S & T</u>'' #29. He is still  <br>
pasting up #28. I looked at my write up on <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>  <br>
and I saw that I had deleted the reference to an error in the  <br>
rules. Took 2 more copies of #27.
BB and I trying <u>SPELLBINDER</u> solitaire in evening. We like it.
At <u>Felicis</u>'s we played one word in 2-hand <u>SPELLBINDER</u>. She  <br>
didn't like the rush, but thinks it will sell. She already  <br>
wrote to <u>Bob Edwards</u> saying that I have speeded up the  <br>
game and whether they'd like to see it again.  <br>
