MAY 1974 - FRIDAY 31
151ST DAY - 214 DAYS TO COME

From Bob Gellman rcd. a repro of Gini Scott's review of
HOLIDAY (which she likes), COOKS TOURS and MONEY CARD.

Call from Felicia. Kelso called her and asked for the
following to be sent: INTERSECTION, SPACE BOXES, PUSHOVER,
SPECTRUM, THE BRAIN GAME, FOREIGN INTRIGUE, TOTALLY,
FREE FORM, EARTHSPIONAGE, and SHINGLES.
I'll do the rules for THE BRAIN GAME and bring it to her Mon-
day. She'll get the package out by U.P.S. on Tuesday.

Layed out an "Information Card" for THE BRAIN GAME and started
the rules.

To Kohner. Harold Frankel was out and no message. Left
the report in a sealed envelope for him. [illegible strikeout] Also left my
card. The fellow who took them gave me a review copy
of SIDETRACK, and a glossy.

To S&R. asked about GOTAMINUTE. They are short on supplies of
this, so I'll come again in the fall.

To S.P.I. Checked with Redmund and next Wednesday for my
column will be o.k. Said hello to Sale but didn't take anything.
Spoke to David Isby. The copying machine has been out
of order so he wasn't able to get me a copy of the rules
for ESCAPE FROM COLDITZ CASTLE. He will as soon as it is fixed.
He gave me some catalogs that were sent to S.P.I.
