Mr. Joshua Lederberg
Washington Post

1515 L Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Lederberg:

Your recent editorial "Atomic Risk Hard to Rate In
Terms of Electrocution" is very perceptive. I
suppose it is not a coincidence that an editorial
on the opposite page "Areas of Important Ignorance"
spoke to the same issue.

If you would like to discuss the ideas in your article,
I would be pleased to meet with you, There are too

few people working on the problem of public risk
taking, and I should like to hear more of your views.

  

Prof. Jostiua Ledarberg

Sincerely,
Department of Genetics
School of Medicine
