Correspondence and Papers (By Author)
Nash, Leonard K. [Chemistry professor at Harvard. When SGB was a freshman there, SGB found his introductory chemistry course so fascinating that it convinced SGB that he should major in chemistry. Later SGB discovered SGB's mistake: the parts of chemistry in which he was most interested (atomic and molecular properties) is really part of physics. Later SGB also found that Nash had done some valuable work in history of chemistry in connection with J.B. Conant's program to use history of science in teaching science.] -- NOTE: Letters on SGB's Selected Readings in Physics kinetic theory series; Boltzmann; Ronald Gurney's Introduction to Statistical Mechanics; creationists; SGB's "The Chimerical Cat.", 1964-1984

Correspondence and Papers (By Author)
O'Keefe, John A. [Planetary scientist at Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. His early work was on geodesy, then he became interested in tektites which, he believed, came from the Moon; and thus developed the fission theory of Moon's origin. His collaboration with Urey on selenogony generated correspondence, which he allowed SGB to use in SGB's research on the history of Urey's theory. ] -- NOTE: On Urey, origin of the Moon; Creationist Henry Morris's idea that the world was created "looking old.", 1981-1989
