...decision time neared, 19 California Nobel prizewinners (including Willard F. Libby, Glenn T. Seaborg, Harold C. Urey and Linus Pauling) wrote the board in protest. In the letter, drafted by Arthur Kornberg, professor of biochemistry at Stanford's School of Medicine, the laureates said that the concessions were unacceptable...
...leaped to the conclusion that the substances can prevent or control many diseases. Irwin Stone, a California-based biochemist, regards vitamin C as a magic bullet that not only can help man avoid scurvy but can serve as a treatment for cancer, heart disease and schizophrenia. Nobel-prizewinning Chemist Linus Pauling has advocated large doses to prevent or cure the common cold. Dr. Wilfrid Shute, a Canadian cardiologist, believes that proper use of vitamin E can aid in treatment of damaged hearts. Others recommend vitamin E for hypertension and rheumatic fever; some claim that it will promote sexual potency...
...experiments-some of them later proved faulty-in scientific journals just to establish priority of discovery. In his unusually candid book The Double Helix, Nobel Prizewinner James Watson confessed to another questionable practice. Determined to unravel the complex structure of the DNA molecule before Caltech's famed chemist Linus Pauling got to it, Watson and one of his co-winners, Francis Crick, deliberately withheld information from Pauling that might have helped their rival in the race for the Nobel...
...week's end, Franklin's hope had not been realized. But a group of 75 professors expressed "outrage," and Nobel-prizewinning Chemist Linus Pauling denounced "a great blow to freedom of speech." Daniel Ellsberg of "Pentagon Papers" fame drew a crowd of 2,000 to Stanford's Memorial Church, where he defended Franklin's politics and admitted his own "bafflement" at the problem of ending the Viet Nam War. Later, some 200 students marched to President Lyman's office and nailed an ultimatum to his door: "Rehire Bruce by Tuesday noon." With Defense Department recruiters...
...ultimate prop, however, is Linus's blanket. Under Doug Eichman's affectionate fondling, the woolly soul-mate changes from a cavalier's cape, to a savage's spear, to a dance partner for the number "My Blanket and Me". Despite whatever Lucy might say, he's no "baby brother with a baby blanket," and preposterously picks apart his own psyche and that of others in Papa Bettelheim's best manner...
