Called Fabio Coen and told him that I had worked out the problems in KLEE. Date to bring it to him on 6/27 at 3. I asked if he had shown the idea to the sales force yet. No, but he thinks it will go well. Maybe he'll have some word when we get together.

On the WNYC-FM radio program "All Things Considered," John D. Goodell discussed his book THE WORLD OF KI, mainly about the profound meaning of GO.

Played 4-hand ARP with the Horns. They liked it. Thinking of a variation where a player scores one point for each side of his color in a completed space. To make this fair the first player should start with a line of one space, then 2, 3, 4, and 5. After this go to the end of the line.

Call from Claude about our date tomorrow. He is writing to Earl about the Hasbro offer.

Call from Felicia. She has other GAMEs from new clients that she didn't show me today. If she doesn't sell them I can see them next time I come in.

Hallmark came up and she had a long talk with Bob Johnson. There is nothing definite but he still says they will get going. She asked about HONORABLE RELATIONS but no one there seems to be able to give an answer on it, since.
