88. Harold Kroto - Autobiography I never dreamed of winning the nobel prize indeed I was very happy with my This autobiography/biography was written at the time of the award and later http://nobelprize.org/chemistry/laureates/1996/kroto-autobio.html

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL I was the kid with the funny name in my form. That is one of the earliest memories I have of school (except for being forced to finish school dinners). Other kids had typical Lancashire names such as Chadderton, Entwistle, Fairhurst, Higginbottom, Mottershead and Thistlethwaite though I must admit that there were the odd Smith, Jones and Brown. My name at that time was Krotoschiner (my father changed it to Kroto in 1955 so it is now occasionally thought, by some, to be Japanese). I felt as though I must have come from outer space - or maybe they did! I now realise that I had made a continual subconscious effort to blend as best I could into the environment by making my behaviour as identical as possible to that of the other kids. This was not easy indeed it was almost impossible with a couple of somewhat eccentric parents (in particular an extrovertly gregarious mother) who were born in Berlin and came to Britain as refugees in their late 30's. Bolton is a once prosperous but then (the fifties) decaying northern English town which is rightfully proud of its legendary contributions to the industrial revolution - the likes of Samuel Crompton and Richard Arkwright were Boltonians. Indeed we lived in Arkwright St. and I shall always remember walking to school each morning past the windows of cotton mills through which I could see the vast rows of massive looms and spinning frames operated by women who had been working from at least six o'clock in the morning, if not earlier.

West KRASNOW INSTITUTE Author of In the Mind's Eye (opens in a new window) Editor's Note : An alternative version of this article was published in different form in the February 2001 issue of ACM-SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics. Recognition in the Old Tradition " 'I didn't expect ' a Nobel Prize 'at all,' he said, 'in part because of the nature of the work. There was less science [and more engineering] in it than the things customarily honored by the prizes." This is the observation of Jack S. Kilby (Texas Instruments) co-inventor of the integrated circuit, on being notified of his award in October 2000. The Nobel Prize for chemistry awarded at the same time to Alan J. Heeger (UC-Santa Barbara) and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba) for their work on conductive polymers also reflected the recognition of broad effects rather than pure science. " 'We're very excited,' said Daryle H. Busch of the American Chemical Society, 'because this award is in the old tradition. That is, it was given for work that has a very substantial impact on society.' " (Suplee) The shift back to an earlier tradition by the Nobel prize committee may reflect a growing recognition in the larger world of the deep value of applied work of broad impact as opposed to the highly theoretical work of relatively low impact which has commanded such high prestige in recent decades.

Introduction Biography , the written account of an individual life. (An autobiography is a biography written by the subject.) The term biography connotes an artful, conscious literary genre that employs a wide range of sources, strategies, and insights; that deals with the intimate, inconsistent textures of personality and experience; and that attempts to render the whole sense of its subject, not the life only but what it was like to have lived it at its several stages. Ideally, the writer molds complex biographical facts—birth and death, education, ambition, conflict, milieu, work, relationship, accident—into a book that has the independent vitality of any creative work but is, at the same time, “true to life.” II.

Score Could Mean His Death" reports the NYT: Three years ago, in the case of a Virginia man named Daryl R. Atkins, the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to execute the mentally retarded. But Mr. Atkins's recent test scores could eliminate him from that group. His scores have shot up, a defense expert said, thanks to the mental workout his participation in years of litigation gave him. The Supreme Court, which did not decide whether Mr. Atkins was retarded, noted that he scored 59 on an I.Q. test in 1998. The cutoff for retardation in Virginia is 70.

Researching Autographs on the Web This page is an ongoing project, and one to which I hope visitors will contribute. My goal is to develop a list of resources available on the world wide web that are useful for researching autographs. I am particularly interested in sites that allow one to do substantive, in-depth research that will help establish the context of a particular letter or document or answer questions about its content. Below is a list of some sites that I have found especially helpful. I invite visitors to email me their own discoveries and suggestions for possible addition to this list. American National Biography The successor to the Dictionary of American Biography , the ANB is a wonderful resource if you need to research a variety of U.S. historical figures. It contains some 18,000 profiles of men and women important in all aspects of U.S. history. Each biography includes an up-to-date bibliography, which provides an excellent starting point for any further research that might be needed. The ANB is in print in a 24-volume set, but if you don't have that much shelf space, try the online edition. It is a subscription service, but at $89 a year, I find it a bargain. To get a free sample of one of the profiles, click on the "Biography of the Day" on the home page.

Nobel Prize Nomination There was quite a stir when, a week before the winner of 1996 Nobel Prize for Literature was announced, it was learned that Dylan had been nominated. The excitement turned out to be premature since the nomination came too late for consideration in 1996. In fact, successful nominations are typically years in the making. The formal nomination was made by Gordon Ball, a VMI professor, after receiving a letter from the late John Bauldie and Allen Ginsberg. Some have questioned whether the Nobel Committee would ever award the Literature Prize to a "song and dance" man. Indeed, in 1986 Dylan himself, ever prescient, allowed that he wasn't going to be a rock and roll singer Nobel laureate The Campaign Committee issued a press release to publicize the nomination.

100. NEWS ARCHIVE (2001 July-Dec) When 25 Years Ago the Author Met John Nash, the nobelWinning Schizophrenic, But, as Nash s biography relates, it wasn t until after he left Princeton http://community-2.webtv.net/stigmanet/NEWSARCHIVE2001July/

Prepared by: National Stigma Clearinghouse Website: http://community.webtv.net/stigmanet NEWS ARCHIVE - YEAR 2001 (JULY-DEC) Please scroll down for July 2001 archives. December 30, 2001 - News of the Week A MEDICAL WRITER BECOMES AN ANTI-STIGMA ACTIVIST PREJUDICE TURNS INTO EMPATHY Miriam Davis was the chief medical writer for U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher's report on the nation's mental health issued in December of 1999. The project gave Ms. Davis a new understanding of the prejudice that surrounds mental illnesses; her own bias was transformed to empathy in the process. Now Ms. Davis is working on a book about stigma and mental illnesses with Howard H. Goldman, the senior scientific editor of the Surgeon General's report. Ms. Davis stated in The Washington Post last week (article below) that her chapter on stigma in the Surgeon General's report was inspired in large part by discrimination against John Forbes Nash, Jr., a math genius who in 1994 won a Nobel prize in the field of economics for work done early in his career. Nash's history of mental illness became an issue during his selection and nearly cost him the prize. In the 1970's when Ms. Davis was a graduate student at Princeton, Mr. Nash had been a forlorn presence on campus, ravaged by the effects of schizophenia. It was not until 1998, while Davis was working on the Surgeon General's report, that she learned the details of Nash's story from his bigraphy by Sylvia Nasar, "A Beautiful Mind." (The Nash biography is the subject of a movie just released, also titled "A Beautiful Mind.")
