5 FRIDAY - OCTOBER 1973
278TH DAY - 87 DAYS TO COME

Letter from Don Turnbull. Mentioned ACQUIRE, PATTON, HOLIDAY, FITTING & PROPER, THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, INFINITY, REALM, MONTAGE, CARTEL, GAMES WITH PENCIL & PAPER, ELEUSIS, COURIER, ALBION (back numbers and its demise at #50), his visit to U.S., my missing column in S & T, and a new war GAME by Tony Jones.
Letter from Carol Peterson of 3M. Enclosed a letter with a skill version of ACQUIRE and a new catalog.
Later I thought of this skill version for ACQUIRE. Instead of players having a hand of tiles, a certain number are placed face up. players bid for the right to play and one, eliminating regular turns. More money to start would be necessary.

Rcd. a call from {Miss Universe Contest (or was it Miss World?)
{Nancy Allen

{757-9396
She is working with them in producing items to cash in on the publicity of the contest. One idea she had was for a GAME. Among other companies, she contacted 3M and Bill Caruson suggested that she contact me. Her idea was for me to come up with a GAME using the material she gives me. She will license it to a company and I will get 10% of the royalties. I didn't agree to these terms, but I'll go there on 10/10 at 4 P.M. to discuss it further.

Working on S & T column. Wrote up CONTROLLING INTEREST, DEADLOCK, DETOUR, LINKUP, NIX, POUNCE, UPON MY WORD, and started FINESSE.
