HANS BETHE LETTER

The July 2006 issue of Physics Today finally published the letter about Nobelist Hans Bethe that I had sent them last year after Bethe passed away. Quite graciously, they hung on to it because they did not have space to publish it then, and then published it now after more than a year.

Incidentally, Bethe himself has written some fine articles in Physics Today during his lifetime, including ones on fusion, supernovae, and the German atomic bomb project.

Another piece of news: New book on Hans Bethe, 'Hans Bethe And His Physics' due to be published on September 30.
