On
November 3, 1954, Linus Pauling was preparing to address a group
of students at Cornell University when news arrived that Pauling
had been selected for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Pauling was
given the award for his work on the chemical bond; this is the only
time the Nobel Committee has selected an individual for a body of
work instead of a discovery that occurred that year. With his passport
in limbo, a big question was whether Pauling would be able to travel
to Sweden to receive the award. Pauling received his passport two
weeks before the award. |
