Description:

After joining the faculty of MIT, Luria became increasingly involved in American politics. Much of his involvement consisted of writing letters to newspaper editors and contributing to "open letter" advertisements. In this unaddressed letter, Luria appealed for a colleague to sign the enclosed open letter to President Johnson that would appear in the "New York Times" on 31 October 1965. The open letter opposed American policy in Vietnam.
