  • Letter from Peter Pauling to LP and AHP RE: Discusses his Christmas in England and future travelling plans. Goes on to say the following: "We all think you are hopping mad at Nature and rightly so. Evidently John and Francis finally got Bragg to write a letter to the editor telling him to get off the pot. But I guess by then he had already published. I was told a story today. You know how children are threatened 'You had better be good or the bad ogre will come and get you'. Well, for more than a year Francis and others have been saying to the nucleic acid people at Kings 'You had better work hard or Pauling will get interested in nucleic acids'." Peter then mentions his work with sperm whale myoglobin. [Filed under LP Biographical: 5.020].
