Annotation:

Author: Joshua Lederberg. Date Written: August 17, 2002. KW: As noted, I had been turned down for a residental scholarship that might have enabled me to attend Cornell; cf: Ligon/R311; Williams was a distinguished biophysicist who was on the board of the Telluride Foundation; I teased him gently about the rebuff in 1941, 30 years before; Just as well, Columbia was the best choice I could have made; jl 8/17/02
