Dear Miss Slodki:

	I am pleased that you plan to publish my letter about the
Glass paper, and the version you sent me is acceptable.  However,
the omissions soften my criticism considerably.  I would prefer
to include either the sentence
%2"Any hard-driver who comes to the National Health Research Center, for example,
has reason to fear that there is more on the agenda than lessening
his risk of a coronary attack"%1 or the sentence
%2"It seems to me that scientific authors owe the public
a duty to state explicitly their moral premisses when these substantially
affect the content of their work, and referees and editors are duty bound
to help them"%1 even at the cost of omitting the sentence that begins
%2"Dr. Glass's own studies show ..."%1.

	However, if you want to keep the criticism soft, that is
acceptable to me.
