Dear Pauling,

(*)

Here is a copy of my book in exchange for yours. I have tried to push the positive side a bit, but your title is more immediately relevant. I am horrified by the recent publication in Nature of an autoradiograph of a tooth. We obviously will have to raise the volume of protest by a million times or so before we can shift the Tellers and their bosses.

Believe it or not I will be in the States next week, but cannot get beyond the East coast. If by the remotest chance you were over that side it would be lovely to see you.

Yours

J. D. Bernal.
