  24 January 1963

  Mr. John Fischer, Editor-in-Chief

  Harper's Magazine

  Dear Mr. Fischer:

  I was shocked to see the statements that you made about m in your article in the January issue of Harper's Magazine. These statements and the implications that would be drawn from them by an uninformed reader are false, and there is no doubt that they will do damage to my reputation.

  I have accordingly prepared a Letter to the Editor, which is enclosed, and I ask that it be published in full in a forthcoming issue of Harper's Magazine.

  Moreover, I may mention that I think that your statement about Lord Russell is untrue. You say that "Now he is equally hot for unilateral disarmament of the West." I have been in close touch with Lord Russell during recent years. He has advocated nuclear disarmament of Great Britain ("Our immediate purpose, insofar as it is political, is only to persuade Britain to abandon reliance upon the illusory protection of nuclear weapons.") However, I think that you are wrong in saying that he has advocated unilateral disablement of the West.

  Yours truly,

  Linus Pauling:lh
