Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>.
Call from <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. He wanted to come by today (since snow is
predicted for tomorrow) to drop off the frame (not the complete
<u>GAME</u>) that he wants me to use as a sample for
<u>THE RIGHT WORD</u>. But I have to go downtown. Arranged that I'd go
to his house on Sunday about 12:30. He also has the models of
the <u>SPECTACULARS</u>, which <u>Andrea Green</u> sent to him. Some are
too easy and others impossible and <u>Manny Lefkowitz</u>, Andrea says, is
losing interest. We'll go over them and see what we can do to get
them to work right.
<br>Phil was at the <u>GAMES</u> office and spoke with <u>Ronnie Shushan</u>
(who I don't believe I met). They came up with one idea for an article
on "Games That Never Should Have Been." They came up with
<u>THE TINY TIM GAME</u>, <u>SHA-EE</u>, and <u>HAPPINESS</u> (the last 2 forced on
Ideal and MB by <u>Marvin Glass</u>) and would like about 3 more. Phil
thinks that I can find them in my collection and that we can work
together on the article. I hesitated over possibly offending P. but he
said that they mentioned <u>THE TINY TIME GAME</u> as a flop in their book
<br>90 YEARS OF FUN</u>. There is no hurry since it will be due 3/15/78 and the
earliest. Later looked and I don't have a complete <u>HAPPINESS</u>. Only parts from Xerox.
I mentioned <u>DIPLOMACY</u> for 2 but Phil said <u>THE RIGHT WORD</u> is much more possible.
<br>To S.P.I. Gave my column to <u>Brad Hessel</u>. He'd like the next one by 1/26/78.
