Dear Mr. Flanagan

I think the enclosed letter igs self-explanatory,
and I hope you will accept the indicated arguments
48 sufficient reason to publish it.

I realize it is rather long -~ and I might well
have preferred a vehicle that encouraged even more
explicit and detailed documentation, However,
Gunther set the stage go beautifully, and will
have misled so Many readers go skillfully, that
it seemed that the Scientific American was the
best Place to send these remarks, T hope its length
has a compensation, the human and metascientific

interest of its content.

Sincerely,
