16 TUESDAY * OCTOBER 1973
U.S. MINT ESTABLISHED 1786 * 289TH DAY * 76 DAYS TO COME

Called Felicia and told her I was bringing in POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER
tomorrow.
Called Bob Gellman to say I couldn't make it today, He'll get
the addresses from his carbons of the letters he sent
together with the copies of PATTON and HOLIDAY so I wont have
to come in.
Called Phil Orbanes. Tomorrow will be O.K.
Called Al Nofi and told him I'd bring the copies of PATTON
tomorrow. Spoke to Jim D.. and the list of games for the
audience response is O.K. for tomorrow.

Jerry D'Arcey called. He is in town. I invited him for supper
tomorrow night and to sleep over.

Downtown. In Hallmark Gallery saw a good window display
of FITTING & PROPER, THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, etc. Also a
counter display right at the cash register.

Spoke to Nancy Allen (see 10/5) about a MISS UNIVERSE GAME.
Got a pretty good idea of how the contest worked and saw
a promotional film. When she licenses the game to a company -
and she has gotten a lot of interest - she will insist on an
advance royalty of $10,000 to $15,000, which will mean
$1000 to $1500 for me. Didn't say I would definitely
do it; but if I decide not to do it I'll let her know at once.
Took some folders with promotional material. (Later discarded.)
To Brentanos. Saw PATTON but couldn't find HOLIDAY.
Saw BUSINESS STRATEGY ($10) which is an improvement of
MANAGEMENT by A.H.
Also saw SURVEILLANCE. The board is a s shown.

[Diagram of a square board with 3 concentric square circuits. Each circuit contains 8 squares - one at each corner and one on each side in the center. There is also a square at the very center of the board which, unlike all the others, is made with dashed lines. Every square is connected to its neighboring squares with a line orthogonally, but not diagonally.]
