Text: "No place for a photon?" Photons are not particles like baseballs or shot; the photon theory is not a return to Newton's corpuscular theory of light. Photons are more like coefficients in a Fourier series -- or increments to the coefficients. Authoritative references are also given. Letter to the editor. American Journal of Physics. 51(2), Feb. 1983. p. 103-104
