many ways, as students, as patients, etc. We know them now and we do
not permit them to come in. We require utter scientific discipline and
in every case certainty that Moskau political Higs are not associated
this goes for any kind of HIG (Hoodlum In Government). The whole
FDA affair was running in this framework. It would be most regrettable
if they succeeded in getting your name involved. I would have to react
against it immediately in public. They are now trying to break into my
fortress through your liberal attitude toward the Moskau Higs. I have
not fought an American Government agency which was governed by
Higs only to get an English Hig into my domain. All this is very serious,
Neill. I hope you understand.
I assume you are aware that so very much has changed here since
1950 that many think of it all in terms of a "Second American Revolu
tion" in the makingt as it were.
Would you think all this over and let me know soon how you decide.
It would certainly be grand to have a few of those great talks again.
To sum up: If you come, do not be surprised that a whole world of
the past lies in fragments, psychoanalysis, marxism of the political type,
a great deal of wrongly applied liberalismt that desert development has
entered upon the human scene, that we learned how to recognize and to
fight the pestilent character, the carrier of the Emotional Plaguet as one
fights rats who transmit the black bubonic plague; that national and
political boundaries have collapsed; that boundaries in science have
basically collapsedt that our world is full of problems of space and
space travelt that the primordial cosmic energy has been discoveredt
that a new kind of industrial use of a noiseless energy is in the process
of being born; that we begin to learn how to handle the climatet etc. etc.
Is this too much? I do not think so. It is rather too latet possibly,
since the obstruction by prejudice and obscurantism and a false sense of
"love thy neighborH the wrong way has for so long held up what could
have been done maybe 40 to 60 years ago already.
All this is only a prelude to our possible meeting in summer 1956.
Let me hear from you.
(Would you be willing to sound a warning about the difficulties of
"self-regulationU in education to all you can reach. It is very necessary
to kill a new false religion of easy-going heavens before it is too late ...
Will you? Especially into Israel?)
