Your Nov. 8 analysis of William Vogt's book Road to Survival is probably the most inaccurate and misleading article that TIME has ever published.

It would seem that the issue goes beyond that of good taste, that it touches on an appreciation of the timeless nature of truth, without which the life of the mind can have no meaning, and without which the very notion of education would be a rather odd one. When, if ever, Einstein shall have ceased to be a beacon to physicists, physics will have ceased...
