Berrrand Russell was fit to be tied. "British authorities," he wrote to the Times of London, had committed a "gross discourtesy" by "subjecting a man of great intellectual eminence to insult at the hands of ignorant officials." The man: U.S. Nobel Prizewinning Chemist Linus Pauling, a colleague of Philosopher Russell in opposition to nuclear bomb tests. The Home Office-which considers that visitor non grata who takes part in meetings against government policy-had refused Pauling permission to stay in England < past Sept. 16, precluding his appearance before a meeting of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. What's more...
...have genius to be a scientist-just character. All you have to do is work hard and figure things out." So said Ernest Orlando Lawrence in what amounted to a self-portrait. Hard work and hard figuring led to his development of the atom-smashing cyclotron and the Nobel Prize of 1939. His hard work led to creation of the University of California Radiation Laboratory, the country's best source of nuclear research. Last week when Physicist Lawrence died unexpectedly in Palo Alto at 57, science and the nation lost a citizen with character to spare...

Where Sutherland's high school films treat simple reactions and phenomena, his college productions will be attempts to show visually two of the most basic theories of physical chemistry-the concept of molecular vibration: taught by Nobel Prizewinner Linus Pauling, and famed Chemist Henry Eyring's study of reaction kinetics. The idea that such theories, normally discussed in detail in junior-year college chemistry, might be presented in films belongs to Dr. Thomas Jones of the National Science Foundation, who conceived the project as a Brussels Fair exhibit. But "the U.S. Government is very poor," Chemist Eyring observes...
Died. Roger Martin du Gard, 77, French novelist and winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize for literature, for the ten-volume Les Thibault, a sort of hindsight saga of French life after the turn of the century; in Bellême, France...
