5 FRIDAY - OCTOBER 1973
278TH DAY - 87 DAYS TO COME

Letter from Don Turnbull. Mentioned ACQUIRE, PATTON, HOLIDAY,
FITTING & PROPER, THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, INFINITY, REALM,
MONTAGE, CARTEL, GAMES WITH PENCIL & PAPER, ELEUSIS,
COURIER, ALBION (back numbers and its demise at #50),
his visit to U.S., my missing column in S & T, and a new
war GAME by Tony Jones.
Letter from Carol Peterson of 3M. Enclosed a letter with a
skill version of ACQUIRE and a new catalog.
Later I though of this skill version for ACQUIRE. Instead
of players having a hand of tiles, a certain number
are placed face up. players bid for the right to play
and one, eliminating regular turns. More money to start
would be necessary.

Rcd. a call from {Miss Universe Contest (or was it Miss World?)
{Nancy Allen
{666 5th Ave. - 14th floor
{757-9396
She is working with them in producing items to cash in on
the publicity of the contest. One idea she had was for
a GAME. Among other companies, she contacted 3M and Bill
Caruson suggested that she contact me. Her idea was for me
to come up with a GAME using the material she gives me.
She will license it to a company and I will get 10% of
the royalties. I didn't agree to these terms, but I'll go
there on 10/10 at 4 P.M. to discuss it further.

Working on S & T column. Wrote up CONTROLLING INTEREST, DEADLOCK,
DETOUR, LINKUP, NIX, POUNCE, UPON MY WORD, and started
FINESSE.
