BB typed my S&T column.
Called Synthetic Plastics Novelties. (5/21). Paul Eisland is out of town this week.

To S&T. Gave my column to Redmund.
Spoke to Jim Dunnigan and he said that they are thinking again about putting out a magazine GAMES in about a year. But he didn't speak about my editing it. Instead he spoke about a column from me and some centerfold games, but he intends to do a lot of those himself.
Beth called me in and told me that some company had tried to buy out S.P.I. They don't want to sell out, but Beth is preparing a proposal to try and get them to finance
GAMES. She went to 200 Fifth and, after being refused any info in one place she went to another saying she was writing a report for school. The fellow she spoke to said she should get in touch with Sid Sackson. I asked and found out it was room 514. It was probably Stan of Athol.
Showed Beth the report from the seminar at the INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW and she reproduced it.
She gave me a letter from Donald A. Curry, who is looking for an 8-level CHESS variant invented by Ervin G. Kogbetli - antz, and written up by LIFE Magazine in the early '50s.
Made repros [reproductions] of the following game rules sent to me by Haar Hoolim (since he would like to have them back): BRAINY BLOCKS, TAKE ALL, STACK-UP, BITSBITSBITS, Q-SETS, SPELLBOUND, MATTIX, LET ME THINK, STOP 'M, and BARRICADE (2 versions).
Made repros of the following Dutch pamphlets for my father to translate: - TRIO, HET GERAM'S WERELD SCHAAKSPEL, NEO-SCHAAK, HANDLEIDING VOR HET "NOVO-SHAAKSPEL". I tried to reproduce SCHADA but it wouldn't give anything readable.

To Felicia. Told her about the INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW and gave her a copy of the program and the market survey report.
She spoke to Bob Johnson and the computer has come up with a summary of the sales of FITTING AND PROPER, etc. "They are quite happy with the orders so far."
She still hasn't gotten a PATTON contract from R.G.I.
Felicia showed me three games from a new client.
