1979 1980 1981 1984Io penso che Teilhard abbia sofferto perPiltdown per tutta la vita. Penso chedebba aver pianto nel suo intimo quandovedeva persone come Smith Woodward[…] rendersi ridicoli: proprio gli uominiche gli avevano concesso la loro amiciziae che gli avevano insegnato tante cose[…].Teilhard pagò il suo debito e visseuna vita piena; potessimo noi tutti farloaltrettanto bene .

39.
1979 1980 1981 1984...io non ho alcuna intenzione didistruggere Teilhard...Dopo essermi così alleggerito,procederò, nel formulare questa replica,ignorando la maggior parte dei commentipersonali e oltraggiosi rivolti contro dime. Mi asterrò anche dal commentare ilnumero maggiore delle lettere diappoggio e di amicizia, limitandomi adire:“Molte grazie per aver capito quelloche volevo fare”
