Dear Sir:

I am preparing a manuscript for a textbook entitled
A Guide to Rapid Reading to be published in 1970 by
A.A. Knopf for world distribution. I would like to
reprint a column by Joshua Lederberg to use as
material for a practice exercise. May I have your
permission to quote the selection entitled "Science
and Man, The Puzzle of the Races," Which appeared

in the S.F. Chronicle Sunday Punch, August 25, 1968,
in all editions of my work? The material will be
reprinted in unchanged form except for the arrange-~
ment on the page, which will be in columns of varying
width, from two words to 8 words per line.

Proper reference and full acknowledgment will be
given, of course, in whatever form you may specify.

I would greatly appreciate your permission to use
this material.

Sincerely,
-at # . Ps
fad Loving Po ctic

Your acknowledgment should state that the article originally appeared

in the Washington Post as part of a column that appears weekly there
and in other newspapers.
