Science and Politics (1 Letter) Re "A Redoubt of Learning Holds Firm" (Sept. 4): Sir Paul Nurse is correct in saying that science has no time for political games; however, politics will not disappear.

As it stands now, science and politics are both too busy guarding their doors. Josepher Li Cambridge, Mass.
