No one has been able to document from the archives that the only condition to meet Dr. Cohen's latest reward offer was a letter.  Letters have been published in other radiation journals other than Health Physics (see Doll, Darby etc.), but Dr. Cohen has not compensated those individuals either for responding to his offer.



        ---I do not believe the pappers by Doll and by Doll and Darby were letters. At least, they were not sent to me by the Editor for response, and I did not see them until after they were published. I then sent Letters to the Editor showing that their criticisms were invalid. My letters were published with their reply (changing the subject) immediately after. As I have explained many times

before, over the past few years, it is the immediate response opportunity that I am seeking in offering this reward, and that is why I specify "Letter to the Editor". I am seeking active discussion, and a year of delay in replying hardly constitutes active discussion.

I have offered to do this in about two months when I will not be under pressure from other commitments. If someone can suggest easierv way for me to search the archives, I will do it much sooner.
