- Letter from Arthur G. Tressler, Managing Editor, Science Year, Field Enterprises Educational Corporation, to LP RE: Promises to send LP copies of the 1967 and 1968 editions of Science Year in order to help persuade LP to consider being featured in the "Men of Science" section for 1969. Describes the section, which focuses on people that have outstanding careers in science and depicts the lives of these people. Tells LP that if he decides to be part of the publication, the next step will be to select a competent professional writer, who would need to talk to LP, along with his friends and professional associates.
