Dear Jim:
Just one brief interruption.

Through an oversight, ‘icGraw-Hill neglected to send me a contract on the
Herskowitz film project until some weeks aco. when I saw it, I balked at the
scope of the restrictions on partécipating in the most remotely competkétive
project for a the long duration of the contract, and I suggested some provisos

- that, I felt, still protected their partisular interest in these fkrsx films.
' I was rather annoyed that McG-H. so far parried rather than answerei to these
' suggestions, and we ami are still corresponding.

It occurred to me that you might have had a material concenn (mine is
rather academic -- no plans for any more movies!) in view of your work on
the Disney Science production. Did you make some special accomodation with
McO-Hill about that?

4 Esther and I are just back from a couple of weeks in London; our new house
4s almost finished -- both mgammm reasons we may miss the SLC symposium, but
eral other people from Stanford will be going,-- DNA is transforming B..
btilis beautifully, but coli not at all; coming this summer: Luca Cavalli
months) and Av Mitchigon (6 mos.)

Many thanks for your note about 4A view"; for a different view, see a letter
‘by Carl Lindegren in a forthcoming issue; in retrospect, I see many gaps in the
_,. perspective of that paper, but that's what a "view® is/

  
 

AR As ever,

—_" PS: Will you have to go out to LA again?; if so mkk why hot come back this way?
