In the announcement of the Nobel Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy in October 1986 the citation for John Polanyi and his two co-recipients, Professor Dudley Herschbach of Harvard and Professor Juan T. Lee of the University of California at Berkeley, reads: "..for the development of a new field of research in chemistry – reaction dynamics – which has provided a much more detailed understanding of how chemical reactions take place". At the present time the Polanyi laboratory is studying chemical reactions one molecule at a time, under the tip of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope to determine the atomic motions giving rise to the reactive event. John Polanyi has served on the Prime Minister of Canada's Advisory Board on Science and Technology and the Premier's Council of Ontario. He was a founding member of both the Committee on Scholarly Freedom of the Royal Society, and a further international human rights organization, the Canadian Committee for Scientists and Scholars, of which he is the current President.

Today's date: NOBEL LAUREATES GLOBAL VIEWPOINT GLOBAL ECONOMIC VIEWPOINT EUROPEAN VIEWPOINT NOBEL LAUREATES SCIENCE AND CONSCIENCE By John C. Polanyi John Polanyi won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1986. He is presently a professor at the University of Toronto and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences study group on joint data exchange'' between the United States and Russia on nuclear weapons. This essay salutes the 100th anniversary of the birth of Linus Pauling in 1901. TORONTO The American who most clearly brought the concepts of science and conscience together was Linus Pauling. Science was his passion. He did not have much to say about conscience, since to talk about it would have been to philosophize, and philosophy held few charms for him. It was not conscience but conscience-at-work that interested Pauling. His was a world in which consequences flowed from actions. It was the sort of robust view one associated with the American West, from which he hailed. This is both a strength and a weakness in the American tradition. It gets things done. Quite often they are the right things. However, a European, living (figuratively) within walking distance of Athens, is more likely to take the view that philosophy, whether we acknowledge it or not, underlies what we do.

Today's date: NOBEL LAUREATES GLOBAL VIEWPOINT GLOBAL ECONOMIC VIEWPOINT EUROPEAN VIEWPOINT NOBEL LAUREATES NOBELESSE OBLIGE' AND ALFRED NOBEL'S LEGACY By John C. Polanyi John C. Polanyi, a Nobel laureate at the University of Toronto, was involved in framing the recent Nobel statement. STOCKHOLM Some Nobel prize winners are intelligent. But some of them are no more so than others. Why, therefore, pay attention to the views of those who support the Nobel statement, issued to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Nobel prize? The answer is that one's perception of truth comes not from intelligence but from a sense of values. Scholarship embodies those values. Though obscure to many, this was evident to Alfred Nobel, the Swedish tycoon and explosives manufacturer. In his will he stipulated that his prizes recognize idealisk rigtning idealistic tendencies. What was it that led to the Nobel prize winners' statement? Not a sense of oracular wisdom but of obligation. The thought was present that individuals who had shared the experience of discovery should be able to agree on a great deal more. Nobel was right; science engenders "idealistic tendencies.'' But why? Because the pursuit of discovery is shot through with idealism. Discovery originates in the unsupported belief that the book of creation is open to being read. So deep is this idealism that many are willing to devote the best years of their lives to the quest for discovery, though the odds against success are huge.
