Felicia called to ask how things had gone ar Brentano's yesterday.
Told her that not much happened. She'll come tomorrow.
Asked her about AIRLINE. She never gave it to IMPACT. She
doesn't think anything will ever come to anything with them.

Rcd. a letter from Warren Buell. He'll be in town and
will call Sunday the 7th.

the evening.

He had a copy of BEAT - THE - COMPUTER! ready for me, having
put the dials in place, the game ordinarily coming unassembled.
He wanted to tell me how it worked but I
told him I preferred to get it from the rules.
He intends to come out with new, advanced versions of
the game each year, if he can make a go of it financially.
I mentioned that I thought it looked much more interesting
than COMPUT-A-TUTOR. That was his game also, but it
was intended primarily for children. It still has a limited circulation.

He has a game, or rather a seriesa of games, using paper
clips which he will put out if he can get financial backing.
I told him to keep in touch when he gets this
GAME or any other ready and gave him my card.
He said that someone had suggested his getting in
touch with me and then remembered that it was
Bernie Lane, after I mentioned the name. He was in
a "Mail Order Show" that Exhibition Management set
up. He has a model of the paper clip GAME there
and could have sold several thousand if he was in
production.

Called Claude to tell him I didn'y have a copy of a book
CHICAGO BRIDGE. Claude was at Earl's but I left the
message with Anne.

Rcd. the F.A.O. Schwartz catalog. Contained, among others, SUMMIT,
EXECUTIVE DECISION, MR> PRESIDENT, BRIDGETTE, BASE CHECK, (CHECKERS with numbers on them), CHECKERS III, (CHECKERS for three players, or for for two to play three games at a time), ORION.
