Enclosed is a letter to Dr. Goldblatt from Lippman describing his current situation. Lippman has been blacklisted and cannot
find work anywhere in the U.S., and fears that even with a private practice, his license to practice medicine could be threatened.

work with Dr. D. P. Riley and their calculations of the equitorial intensities for an aggregate of
seven rods in Acta Crystallographica, based on LP's models of alpha-keratin structures. Plans to
do small angle experiments with keratin. [letter of response from LP to Dr. Oster 1-29-53].
- Pauling Scrapbook: Chemical and Engineering News article entitled "Molecular Cables" RE:
