WILHELMI Publisher UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS 5801 Ellis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60637 Dear Dr. Rothschild: September 19, 1978 We will be pleased to publish'IThe Bandwagons of Medicine. t' The reviewers and I have only one strong suggestion. We are con- vinced that it would be wise to eliminate the comment on cigarettQs(page 13). Since smoking is known to be harmful, your qual- ification t''colnplete elirnination" will not be carefully noted. Your apparent acceptance of advice against smoking as a: false band_wagon will! tend to weaken your other good; points. You will recall the problem that arose recently when an effort was made to' establish the minimum number of 'safe" cigarettes per day. 012 Editorial Office Culver Hall 403 1025 East 57thStreet' Chicago, Illinois 60637 3127534083 ~ ichard L.
