1-- T am glad to see how program is shaping up,
and (if there was any doubt) confirm my accep-
_ tance of your invitation.

May I_ask-if-you-have-a bibliographic listing
-o£--your-writings;—oer-at—least -those- of interest
-to-e would-be student of—science=and=policy?—~

 

Needless to say I share your concerns about
the place of science in what may be a cultural
revolution. I am not at all happy with the |

rather emotional formulations that emerge from nAy
har Academy of A&S talk -- you may note the
date was May 1970, and better understand the
tone; and this was cribbed from a piece I had |
put together at 3 am the previous day for a talk
to the &merican Psychiatric Association, an ambi-
ence that may have influenced my mood ~--not to
mention the radical pickets and potential hecklers
operation we have just started at the Center for
Adv. Stud. Behav. Sci here. Your article points
“precisely to the issue that most concerns me _
~=<the survivability of science as a cultural insti-
tution); and I hope to tap whatever wisdom you.
can offer in this pursuit.
