Gave the Xerox picture with me, <u>ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II</u>,  <br>
and <u>GETTYSBURG</u> to Tom Shaw.
The subject of <u>Roger Verhulst</u>'s column in the ''<u>CHICAGO TRIBUNE</u>''  <br>
came up. Tom Shaw is the one who told Verhulst about  <br>
me. He, Tom, has a set of the columns and I  <br>
asked him to run off repros for me. He said he would.
 
BB to <u>Felicia</u>'s to pick up the contracts for <u>ANOTHER</u>, <u>DIGIT</u>, <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>, <u>PE-LING</u>, <u>SIT DOWN & THINK</u>, & <u>SEARCH</u>.  <br>
She told Felicia of my trip to Baltimore for ''<u>WOMAN'S DAY</u>''.  <br>
Felicia said that MB and Western also do games on  <br>
contract.  <br>
Incidentally, she said that $15 an hour was just about right  <br>
as a consulting fee.  <br>
BB also took the rules for <u>SIJJEH</u>. She said that the  <br>
model was very, very fancy.  <br>
 
Rcd. the copy of <u>''AGOG''</u> back from ''<u>LIFESTYLE</u>'' magazine. No message.  <br>
Rcd. August ''<u>PLAYTHINGS</u>''. Had article on <u>Hank Simmons</u>. Mentions  <br>
Schisgall Enterprises' <u>THE MOB</u>. They also have a  <br>
<u>PRIME-TIME FOOTBALL</u>. Showcase has <u>DOG, CAT & MOUSE</u>,  <br>
<u>FLIGHT CAPTAIN</u>, <u>COMPUTER GAMES</u> (Honeywell-Bull),  <br>
<u>STRATO TAC-TICS</u>. Classified ads offer <u>OCTAGON</u> and  <br>
<u>SPIN-GOLF</u>.  <br>
Rcd. one contract <s>with</s> for <u>TEMPO</u>, <u>INTERPLAY</u>, and <u>ODD OR EVEN</u>  <br>
and also <u>TRANSFORMATION</u> which I didn't ask for from  <br>
Tom Atwater. Also a letter expressing surprise that I was  <br>
going for Capital Gains.  <br>
Rcd. letter from <u>Omar DeWitt</u>. A.H. returned his detective  <br>
game <u>221B</u>. He wrote to 3M but <u>Miss Brooks</u> said  <br>
they were not accepting games from "Outside Sources".  <br>
He made a <u>FOCUS</u> board and finds there is more to it than  <br>
first meets the eye.
 
<u>Gary Sherbell</u> called. He has made changes in his game  <br>
<u>TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS</u>, mainly in the direction of  <br>
allowing a lot more choice in starting suits. He wants me  <br>
to look at it before he approaches Felicia again. I finally  <br>
convinced him that he'd have to wait till after Labor Day  <br>
before I would have time to try it with him. He'll call after L.D.  <br>
