Letter from Thomas Gold Professor Harold C Urey, Department of Chemistry, Revelle College, University of California, PO Box 109, La Jolla, California Concerning Gold's article on the magnetization of lunar rocks by cometary impacts, which was published in Planetary and Space Science; he is sending Urey another favourable response by Dessler, a plasma physics and magnetosphere expert. However, he fears that despite such successes, he has terrible trouble retaining any kind of support for Moon work. The amount of prejudice against anyone who does not conform to the official NASA line is immense. 1 March 1976
