things shown when she does. <br> | |||
A client who is with NBC in Washington sent a strategy <br> | |||
<u>GAME</u> to 3M before he came to her. She helped expedite <br> | |||
it and she thinks 3M has taken it. The name is a strange one that <br> | |||
she can't pronounce or remember. <br> | |||
She told <u>Chuck Daugherty</u> about the opening at R.G.I. and, <br> | |||
although it is somewhat out of his line, he might be <br> | |||
interested enough to call <u>Bob Gellman</u>. <br> | |||
Dynamic Design liked <u>URBAN RENEWAL</u> but refused it because <br> | |||
the large number of components makes it too expensive. <br> | |||
She hasn't spoken to Harold of Rappaport's yet about the <br> | |||
children's puzzle. She'll let me know when she does. <br> | |||
I told her about <u>ELECTION</u>'s rip-off of <u>VENTURE</u>. At first she <br> | |||
wanted to tell 3M about it but I reminded her about the <br> | |||
provision in the contract that we pay our royalties for fighting <br> | |||
it and we decided to say nothing and hope it goes away. | |||

<u>Jim Kraus</u>. <u>SKYSCRAPERS</u> is being returned because of <br> | |||
its resemblance to Mag-Nif's <u>TORUS</u>. (Told Felicia I was <br> | |||
afraid of that.) 3M is very interested in more puzzles, but <br> | |||
appearance is the governing factor. <br> | |||
They hope that the revolving racks will pick up the sales <br> | |||
of the Gamettes. <u>SLEUTH</u> is number 1 in sales in the line, <br> | |||
with <u>EVADE</u> second. <br> | |||
They are holding off on <u>PROFIT</u>. At present all stock <br> | |||
market games are doing very poorly. <br> | |||
Jim didn't know how to go about getting <u>BAZAAR</u> back <br> | |||
since it is still being sold in Europe. Felicia and I <br> | |||
decided not to look into it at present. <br> | |||
However they keeping <u>HIGH BID</u> in the gamette line <br> | |||
and they don't care if <u>Larry Winters</u> puts out an <br> | |||
updated version himself. <br> | |||
In the matter of <u>PROFIT</u> Felicia hinted about more <br> | |||
money and Jim said he'd see if he can arrange another $250. <br> | |||
They think that <u>IMAGE</u> will do very well. <br> | |||
Jim asked if <u>BLUE CHIP</u> is still on the market and Felicia <br> | |||
said she'd check with me (Jim sent his regards). I gave <br> | |||

haven't seen it for over ten years. Jim says that they <br> | |||
