MANAGING EDITOR

Dear Professor Lederberg:

Thank you for the very interesting suggestion in
your letter of December 6 to Turner Catledge, executive
editor of The New York Times. We shall take it under
consideration.

In the meantime, let me point out that it is not
difficult to find the texts in The New York Times. If
a text is important enough to be printed in The Times,
it is usually printed with a front-page story, and a
special box (like the one enclosed) is printed with that
story to indicate where the text can be found. These
boxes are very easy to spot. If you just look at the

front page, you can generally find out what major texts
we are publishing.

We hope this tip will be useful to you, and we thank
you most warmly for your interest in The New York Times.

Sincerely,

Lig Aen
