MONDAY 27 FEBRUARY
1967 58th day - 307 days to come
Alice called. Asked if I had heard from Bob Abel when the True article
will be out. Want to mention it to buyers. Said I'd call tonight.
Told her I was thinking of putting out INFINITE PLANE myself. She
thought it an interesting idea. She said that Arnold Shapiro would be in for
Toy Fair and she wants to threaten to pull out the games they have
if they don't have any idea when they will start moving.
Asked Bob Oxhandler if he knew of a contract lawyer. He says
a school friend does his contracts. He does it on the side - he
works for someone else - and is not expensive, but is good.
Claude called. He has an idea for a TV GAME about dress
designing.
Arthur called. He wanted Jules Cooper's number so that he could
ask him for some marketing information concerning the
HIGH DECK. He once saw Jules at Lowell. I gave him the
number but suggested that he wait till after Toy Fair.
Called Bob Abel and got Carol. Bob had a deadline and she
couldn't get thru to him. Asked her to have him call me if
he knew when the True article would come out.
Called Alice to tell her about Bob Abel. She does not care for
the name INFINITE PLANE and would like me to think of
something else. Said I'd try. She also says she likes the
name SIT DOWN AND THINK and will write to Bill Caruson tell-
ing him the story of how it came about.
Arnold Shapiro will be in town for Toy Fair and she is going
to insist that they get moving.
