THURSDAY 12 NOVEMBER 1970 316th day - 49 days to come

Finished VENTURE and then wrote up QUERIES 'N THEORIES, MEM, BYZANTIUM and PLOY. Later decided that I wasn't sat- isfied with the ending of the latter.

Jack Davis called. CBS radio is interested on a program or pos- sibly a series on games before X'Mas, and Jack interested them in me. He wants me to call them & I said I'd do it tomorrow since I was so busy today. He'll call them and tell them. { "John Ward," CBS Radio, 765-4321, Ext. 4353 Jack finally got ACQUIRE to Marvin Katz, who told him it was one of the best games he ever player [played]. There is still not date on the GRIT piece. They aren't using color, however, and Marvin sent the color pictures to Jack.

Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim.

Rcd. a letter from Mrs. Kellen that she hasn't spoke to Keith Tuggle yet. She also sent me the label from the latest ACQUIRE, which has been fixed to show a chain marker on the one on which it had been missing.

Felicia called. She had a letter from Jim Kraus. There is a problem with PROFIT, fitting the money into the Gamette box. But there is no hurry with it. He also mentioned that liked TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS. She told Bob Edwards that I had a pile of 2-hand strategy GAMEs. He wants to see them all. I told Felicia that it will take me a while to get them in shape. She said the sooner the better. I suggested some of the games in AGOG, but she said they have to have a model. A friend of Larry Winters came there with a sex GAME. Later she called me to ask about "Diplomat," a company I told her about that does sex oriented games. I looked at the sheet I got from "Gamesters" and I saw that the games are distributed by "Golden Magic Wand." The game she was shown was just a path game and quite raw. She didn't want to handle it.

Called Mickie Mackay. Told her I was doing CARDINO for BOOK WORLD and needed the list price. It lists for about $5.50, but is always sold for less. She is just as happy to have that price noted and then buyers will think they are getting a bargain. She is pleased I am covering it, since it needs help. Asked about a copy for Claude. She was ready to mail me as many as I want. Told her I'd pick up two when I was back on my feet.
