and I really enjoyed it. I lost thru overconfidence, ending the <br> | |||
game before building the chain I controlled to 41 hotels.<br> | |||
This was the first time they played with buying 3 blocks of<br> | |||
stock on a turn.<br> | |||

be here on 9/25, from 1 to 5. We'll eat first and then play<br> | |||
<u>THE RIGHT WORD</u>.<br> | |||
I asked about the <u>DIPLOMACY</u> - type <u>GAME</u> that is to be<br> | |||
played in about 1 1/2 hours. Is it important that two cin<br> | |||
play it? Yes, that is one of the most important things. And<br> | |||

He spoke to <u>Manny Lefkowicz</u> and he said that they can't get<br> | |||
the <u>SPECTACULARS</u> to look good, but they are trying to<br> | |||
use some of the ideas in other ways. Phil will call<br> | |||
<u>Andrea Green</u> Monday and try to get more info.<br> | |||
He said that I should try to get <u>Felicia</u> to stop pushing<br> | |||
on the <u>SPECTACULARS</u>, it only annoys Manny. I told him<br> | |||
that Felicia gets together socially with Andrea and must<br> | |||
do it then; I try diplomatically to have her ease up. I<br> | |||
told him that my experience has been that Felicia will<br> | |||
drop something too fast if a manufacturer seems not to<br> | |||
like it. He said that she had become almost a pest in<br> | |||
pushing some of <u>Alan Newman</u>'s games at Ideal.<br> | |||
I told him <s>about</s> about the patent application being sent in<br> | |||
for <u>THE WINNING TICKET</u>. He said to inform <u>Richard Rabkin</u>,<br> | |||
Patent Counsel.<br> | |||
I asked, but no new reports on <u>THE WINNING TICKET</u> sales.<br> | |||
Claude told me about new information on patenting games. It is<br> | |||
in <s>U.S. Patent Quar</s> ''<u>U.S. PATENT QUARTERLY</u>'' (Vol. 192 PQ-1975-Page 431).<br> | |||
