Your front page story of October 5th dealing with my alleged views about disarmament reached a new low of irresponsibility and misrepresentation. The headline, "Kissinger Cautions Disarmament Might Lead to U.S.S.R. Victory" is a falsehood. The quotation in the first paragraph is incorrect.

Extinct? No; you, Mr. Capp, are the dodo...
...Wyoming's freshman Democratic Senator Gale Me Gee loosed a rambling tirade in his campaign to help New Mexico Democrat Clinton Anderson block confirmation as Secretary of Commerce of former Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss (TIME, June 15). Charged McGee: Strauss was guilty of "evasion" and even "falsehood" during the long, quarrelsome Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee hearings on his nomination...
