...Goldwater into a filibuster. When speakers made statements like "the United States should stress victory over, rather than co-existence with, the Communist menace," they cheered, whistled, stomped their feet, and raised a great commotion. When someone referred to stock villians like Eleanor Roosevelt, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Linus Pauling, they booed and hissed with equal fervor. But the boos contained no venom. The crowd was simply cheering the heroes and hissing the bad guys and having a heck of a good time doing...
...include two or three whose greatest work is probably behind them. Chemist Linus Pauling published his milestone theories about the nature of the chemical bond in the '30s, waited until 1954 to receive his Nobel Prize. But Pauling's accurate insights remain a basis for the work of 1960?3 scientists in many fields. Physicist I. I. Rabi received his Nobel Prize in 1944 for his work on the atomic nucleus, in recent years has been most active as an articulate adviser to the Federal Government, explaining science to the Solons as something that requires, and is worthy...
...Linus Carl Pauling, 59, Caltech's outspoken, opinionated chemist, began prying into the personality of the atom just after World War I, when the laboratories of his specialty were alive with novel and productive ideas. The coincidence was explosive. For Pauling believes that "the best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas." He had plenty. His theory about the nature of the chemical bond, the forces that make atoms stick together, won him a Nobel Prize in 1954. "Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life," says Pauling...

The excitement was not intellectual--as perhaps it be in a meeting of this nature. manifested itself first in a feeling sheer anger when a man threw an at Charles Coryell, who had just in defense of Linus Pauling; in exultant release when Seeger up to lead the group through a of folk-songs...
None of the speakers elicited much enthusiasm from the audience; perhaps none intended to. Charles Coryell, professor of Chemistry at M.I.T., and Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan seemed to provoke the audience most. But Coryell's defense of Linus Pauling was, in context, peripheral to the main topic, and Williams' six-point program for "what you can do" turned out to be largely a program for what a Democratic Administration might do. Save for his emphasis on "arms to parley," though, Williams' speech seemed to encourage the audience, to show them that there are important politicians on their side...
