Private and public communications in physics
MAR 01, 1965
The opinions expressed below are those of an individual, theorist M. Moravcsik of the University of California’s Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, and thus should not be construed as being necessarily representative of views held in AIP, APS, LRL, BNL, etc. They do, however, provide a basis for wider discussion of a problem of pressing concern to all physicists, and in that light they are presented here.

The problem of communication among physicists has grown more and more acute in the past few years. Discussions of this crisis have ranged from innumerable bull sessions during coffee breaks, through frequent editorials in scientific journals, up to a formal report of a special panel of the President’s Scientific Advisory Committee, headed by Alvin Weinberg.
