    Professor Austen Riggs

    The University of Texas

    Austin 12, Texas

    Dear Professor Riggs:

    In answer to your letter I may say that the problem of getting good molecular models is not a simple one.

    We manufacture our own molecular models, both of the space-filling type and the ball-and-stick type (also some metal models that are less representational in nature). They are very expensive, and we are not able to provide them to other people.

    Our experience has been that for most purposes the space-filling models are too cumbersome to be useful. I find that the models made of Dural and stainless steel rods, giving a skeleton of the structure, are better in the study of polypeptides than any others. However, it may be that the problem in which you are interested requires the use of space-filling models.

    We have not published very much about our models. Professor Corey and I published an article in the Review of Scientific Instruments 24, 621 (August 1953) on molecular models of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. I cannot send you a reprint because our supply is exhausted.

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:w

    Dear Professor Pauling:

    The impact of last summer's Pugwash meeting on the public mind is illustrated anew in this editorial from the November 13th Boston Herald.

    You will also be interested in the enclosed column of November 15th by the Washington correspondent of the Toronto Telegram. This piece points out the unhappy truth that the politicians are the least concerned of any part of the American population over the hazards of nuclear warfare. The attitude of the politicians is, of course, influenced by the extreme anti-communist sentiment that certain small but highly vocal groups keep stirring up in the United States.

    On returning from Russia last week, one of our Cleveland Congressmen went so far as to announce that he is prepared to fight everything Russian to the death. These politicians who make a profession of fanning the fires of hatred against Russia, because they believe this is the way to get votes, would swiftly change their ways if the wiser and saner elements of our society became more vocal.

    Sincerely yours,
    Cyrus Eaton
