Dr. Joshua Lederberg
President .
The Rockefeller University

Dear Josh:

Thank you for letting me see the enclosed draft of the President's
report to the University. I've read it carefully several times putting,
at your suggestion, as much jaundice in my eye as any other reader was
likely to muster.

It is an extremely fine report and will enliven the various con-
stituencies here; I cannot imagine anyone's feathers being ruffled by
any part of its content - and unless a particular reader has no regard
for style, there will be much pleasure taken in what in fact is presented
in the form of an animated conversation with the President. It is,
despite the cautions raised here and there, full of optimism, as well it
Should be.

A few editorial thoughts are expressed since I could not resist the
temptations offered by all that blank space to the right of your text.

Yours sincerely,

Attallah Kappas, M.D.
