  • Framed clipping of a newspaper cartoon: Cartoon featuring the audience of the Nobel Prize ceremony with Linus Pauling in the middle of the front row. Dec. 12, 1954. "Prof. Linus Pauling stole the show at the Nobel banquet with his cheerful laugh. THEFT: Dignified we sit at the festive tables. Glumly we half listen to the words - the words of boring speeches. Suddenly we become alert: somebody is laughing, laughing in this formal hall. Long we hesitate, long we question: shall we refuse, shall we dare to open our tightly closed shell? At first we felt he had done wrong to laugh. Then slowly we realize that gladly we would have shared his crime, he who stole the show at the banquet.
