Immaculate Conception - 342nd day - 23 days to come

Call from Bob Gellman, in answer to mine of Friday. He called 3M and spoke to them generally - not specifically. He asked them why FACTS IN FIVE was not on the list of games they sent him. They said that they were having problems with the inventor, so they didn't include it.
Rcd. repro of a letter from Graeme Levin to Nelson asking whether the royalties have reached the higher levels.
Rcd. SIGNAL no. 89 (the one previously missing.) Review and men- tions of: BATTLECRUISER, GAR-RAROUK, STARFIRE, RUSSIAN BRIDGE, (4 new game by Eagle Games Ltd.); ANCIENT CONQUEST (Excalibre Games) (with mention of DECLINE & FALL; MARCH ON INDIA 1944 (in JAGDPANTHER NO. 11), ANVIL-DRAGOON (in no 12), THE BATTLE FOR MADRID, RISING SUN, WAR OF THE RING (by Jagdpanther but not in mag.); JERUSALEM (by John Hill who did BAR-LEV) and CROMWELL (SDC); THE YTHRI (with mention of STELLAR CONQUEST); short reviews of Rand games - LEE VS MEADE, SARATOGA: 1777, INVASION: SICILY, NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGNS, CAMBRAI 1917, MISSILE BOAT (with mention of SEASTRIKE), OMAHA BEACH, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS II, ROMMEL; KNIGHTS AT WAR - a book with four games, including ARSOUF.

On column for S&T no. 54 I started with ZONEX and A PLAYER'S GUIDE TO TABLE GAMES (omitted from no. 53). Wrote up EN GARDE!, POWER BROKER, and SPELLBOUND.
Made changes in the diagram for JOYCE (WORD-RACE) as noted on 11/26. Drew up a diagram for POE (ABC D-DUCTION).
Call from Claude. Date to go there Friday night.
Call from Felicia, she sent a manuscript of George Bredehorn's puzzles those that were in NEWSDAY with some additions (I believe) - to "Dell" publications. Katherine Rafferty, some kind of a big shot at Dell called her to say that many of the puzzle types in the manuscript were © by Dell

Finished S&T column with 221B BAKER STREET, THE SEX CONNECTION, JABBLE, and THE LAST WORD.
