This resolution, passed by the International Congress of Genetics at its last summer's meeting in Italy, was directed not against the U.S.S.R., but against the U.S.A. The geneticists did not want to be exposed to the harassment and delay that await foreign scientists who try to visit the U.S. Other scientific organizations have taken the same attitude.

As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Langer, after weeks of delay, insisted on considering the charges in a handful of letters opposing Warren's appointment. Some of the letters are obviously from cranks, none of them contains any evidence to support charges. The charges run all the way from saying that Warren is a crook to a complaint that...
