Dear Pop:
The other day Gerardo Jovinelli called to ask how two friends of his could get in contact with Cal Tech. They are Ph.D's in Physics in Rome and are apparently interested in teaching and research. If you could let me know who they could contact, I would be glad to forward the information to Gerardo.
I enclose a few clippings for your file.
Liny had a magnificent time during his week with you. He is still talking about it. Thank you very much for having him.
Much Love,
Linus
