Rcd. [received] NOST-ALGIA #155. Phil Cohen has more on SPROUTS strategy.

Rcd. a call from Earl Perel. Told him about my discussion with Al Richter Saturday concerning DON'T BLOW A FUSE. He liked what we came up with. He asked if I thought a 50-50 split would be fair to Al, and I said "yes."
Earl asked what I thought of his letter to Bill Dohrmann I said he had a lot of "Chutzpah" but he just might pull it off- maybe even a job.
Told him that there's no use in going into the patent show - we have no patents. Also I have no time for another project.
He may be in the weekend of the 31st - but probably will only have time to call me.

Wrote to Jim Scully. Mentioned TALLY and SKEDOODLE. Wrote to Larry Blandin about the INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW.
