Dear Dr. Lederberg:

Thank you for sending me the articles. I'm impressed by your level of
sophistication in this area. I guess I shouldn't have been. When Bob
Polhemus and I returned to the office, we learned that one of Bob's
editors, Ted Hoffman, has been working with Dennis Smith on a proposed
book on computer aided structure determination. Dr. Hoffman says he
hasn't heard from Dr. Smith for quite awhile and wonders if you know
anything about the status of the book or whether perhaps Dr. Smith might
be moving east from Stanford.

I also noted in one of the citations that you had written a paper with my
cousin, Edward Feigenbaum. Although we are first cousins, I confess I
haven't seen him for a few years. I will have to look him up next time
I'm in the area. .

There will be a meeting of the TSM Executive Council of the Association
of American Publishers on 4 March. Bob and I will raise the question of
a joint meeting with the Rockefeller faculty and report back to you.

A copy of my paper is enclosed, as you requested. In addition, I'm
enclosing a bibliography relating to journal publishing. Perhaps you
might find it useful.

We look forward to seeing you again.

Cordially,

CMa,

Allan Wittman

PS: I believe you mentioned that someone you know is looking for a job Lo
in publishing. I enclose copies of the classified section of the last

issue of PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Note the advertisements from the half dozen

agencies which seem to specialize in publishing jobs.
