"Coms[ . . . ] are probably not a proper R.U. We are really a research institute, with 200 faculty and 100 students (Ph. D candidates.) But I certainly do want to keep the lines open! June Goodfield, whom you should know, is affiliated here; and I lunch occasionally with Dick Sennett at NYU Inst. Humanities.
Unless this puts you off, I would be delighted to discuss our mutual interests in more detail. If you have time for a free lunch, please call.
Sincerely,
Joshua Lederberg.
