Dear Professor Lederberg:

I was running through the comments received on
the Bonner Galston and saw yours---with pleasure,

I cannot help commenting on your one reservation--
some "cute" illustrations. You suspected our
reason: the course in botany have been deadly dull
so that students have avoided them; the youngsters
are only 12 or 20; in addition, many are not
botany majors, being in agriculture, and have to
take this course. Maybe some of these figures
went too far, but I hope the students do not

think so.

What do you think of Cathesid new book?
My best to your wife.
Sincerely yours,

BIA Pia
