...view of TIME's regard for the truth, I know you will correct a misrepresentation which has twice occurred in TIME publications involving me, most recently in the March 2 issue.

Gross decided onstage, and without a chance to crib from reference books, whether the answers were correct, seldom had to back down. An extramural job that comes closer to the complexity of his new one: his chairmanship, since...
