LETTER FROM PETER DUESBERG TO JOHN MADDOX

Sir John Maddox
Editor, Nature
Porters South, Crinnan St.
London, England

10 July 1995

Dear John,

Following publication of the Duesberg-Bialy letter on May 18, Nature added: "Peter Duesberg was offered space in Scientific Correspondence for 500 words of his own choice but declined."

Since our letter used up that "space," Nature's comment is erroneous and should be retracted.

Could you please confirm or un-confirm our conclusion. I have faxed to you twice before requesting an answer to this question (June 20 and June 22, 1995) but have not received a reply.

Sincerely,

Peter Duesberg
