    f.d ^ 1 September 15, 1978 Dr. Richard Wurman Office of the Dean School of Environmental Design California State Polytechnic University Pomona, CA 91768 Dear Richard, As a title I suggest The Architecture of Biological Molecules. The obvious crib for this is the article by Caspar and Klug {xerox enclosed), though this topic would only come at the end of the talk (note the acknowledgement at the end to Bucky Fuller). The book I mentioned over the jfcihone is Symmetry by Hermann Weyl — a very distinguished mathematician. It was published by the Princeton University Press in 1952 and I am told that it is still in print. It really departs too widely from my theme but you may like to look at it for your own amusement. I 1 11 have a few slides —— the usual 50 mm size — but otherwise don't require anything special though I hope there'll be a black board I can draw on, preferably one not covered by the screen for the slide projector. I*ve asked my secretary to send you a short biography. The tine/ and date are fine. Yes, Odile will probably like to come and we'd both be happy to stay over for dinner. II11 get in touch with Jack and Ding nearer the time. It would be very pleasant if we could all drive up together. Best wishes. Yours sincerely, F. H. C. Crick Kieckhefer Research Professor FHCC/bml Sv Enc.
