Dear Josh,

Your letter to the Editor of the New York
Times on Science Advisers displays a degree of
insight that I have seldom seen insofar as the
business of giving advice is concerned. I have
tried on a number of occasions to make precisely
the points you made -- but certainly without
your eloquence. I was so struck by the parallel
between what I have tried to say and what you
did say that I simply had to write and thank you.

Sincerely,

rm
Normah R. Augustine
