Dear Dr, Lederberg, |

Following up our phone conversation of Novenber 3, I am enclosing
several issues of the Fusion Energy Foundation's monthly magazine, Fusion,
as an introduction to our organization,

The July issue brings up several questions concerning embryological
self-organization and “epigenetic” development, but is also focussed on
the question of how evolution might proceed in this context,

The August issue discusses the problem of environmentalist attacks
on basic cancer research under the banner of "technology causes cancer",
which has led to the argument that environmental testing (which of course
has some important value) should supplant basic biological investigation.

Our latest issue, November, features an introduction to plasma physics
for non-physicists, which 1s nevertheless sufficiently descriptive to bring
home the idea that the laws governing a piasma actually change as the plasma
evolves, in a qualitative sense,

I hope that you and others at Rockefeller University enjoy the
material,

Sincerely,

VV a, ( Kos 6AG hy
