Martin said that
Martin said that ''<u>SCARNE'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GAMES</u>'' was  <br>
cribbed shamefully from previous books. It undoubtedly,  <br>
he said, was ghosted. Told him about <POKE</u>, which  <br>
we figured was cribbed from ''<u>ESQUIRE'S BOOK OF GAMBLING</u>.  <br>
Had a letter which I borrowed from Martin on 9/30/72 -  <br>
with <u>DODGEM</u>, <u>SERPENT</u>, and an unnamed game - and reproduced  <br>
some time ago. Meant to return it but forgot.  <br>
Martin has turned in a column, which willget a cover on  <br>
''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>'', on the mathematical aspects of  <br>
the ''<u>I-CHING</u>''. Told him of the one by D.D.I. and he would  <br>
have liked to see it. Couldn't find it.
 
Spent several hours after Martin & Charlotte left looking  <br>
for the ''<u>I-CHING</u>''. Just couldn't find it.

But I'll believe it when I see it.  <br>
Frank noticed that <u>Alex Randolph</u> had his name on the  <br>
package for <u>MOEBIES</u>. Discussed Alex' insistance that his  <br>
name appear on a game.  <br>
After coming up with a way of producing <u>STACTICS</u> so that  <br>
it would price out Hasbro finally decided not to do it.  <br>
Frank's son came across a book in school that listed <u>AGOG</u>  <br>
as a book that would help students develop their thinking:  <br>
''<u>READING - HOW TO</u>'' by Herbert Kohl -Dutton.
 
In a call to Phil <u>Laurence</u> he told me that Elliott had talked a friend  <br>
into buying <u>SLEUTH</u>. Now they both love it. I told  <br>
Elliott the 2-player version.
