To Michael Polányi Berlin, 1 March 1920 Dear Colleague, I have not given any thought to consequences of the deformability of diatomic molecules, because I do not consider the relevant Bohr models correct, and because specific heat at higher temperatures as well as optical behavior in the ultrared seem to prove sufficiently the approximate rigidity. Considerations of the kind indicated by you can therefore probably only reveal the uselessness of the associated models.[1] In asking you please to excuse the brevity of this reply of mine due to overwork, I am, with greetings, your colleague. 337.

So the question is merely where it is more pleasant for all of you. If I imagine myself in that position,
