Truly, he speaks the sooth.

Linus Pauling was noted for his ground-breaking work "The Nature of
the Chemical Bond", which I found myself reading as an honors freshman
at Tulane. The man was a genius as a theoretical chemist. In his later
years, he morphed himself into a nutritional physiologist/biochemist,
in the philosophical manner of a Bertrand Russell. You know the Brit
group of the time: Holistic medicine, "Ban the Bomb" unilateral
disarmament, the so-called "Peace" symbol (adapted from a graphic
representing ICBMs), anti-pesticides, the works.

It was as if the author of "n-Dimensional Vector Spaces" suddenly woke
up and started selling copper bracelets.

A sad end to a great mind.
