Dear Joshua:

A short time ago, I saw Luca in Milan and in the course of
the conversation about the so-called crisis in science, he
mentioned that you had given a speech on the subject to the
conference of the American Psychological Association. He also
mentioned a book by Rozak on "The meaning of the counter-culture".

I am very much interested in these matters ~ both at the
personal and at the professional level - since here at Unesco
we are planning to study the problem with the cooperation of
some leading scientists and opponents of science.

Would it be possible for you to let me have a copy of your
lecture and a copy of the book (it sometimes takes a long time
to get a book from the United States through local booksellers).

é Thank you for any help you can give in this respect.

po If you happen to come to Europe and can make a stopover in
Paris, I should be delighted to see you.

Cordially,

NM .
