FIVE INTERVIEWS WITH LINUS
PAULING:
During
the autumn of 1960 Dr. Pauling was interviewed: first by telephone by
Virginia Mill, and then at Cal Tech by Mill & Robert Carl
Cohen. Predictably, within the
context of Cold War editorial attitudes which considered all viewpoints
labeled
"sympathetic to Communism" as unprintable, the interviews were rejected
by
mainstream publications in both the United States & Canada.
The
most "sympathetic" rejection was by the TORONTO STAR:

Despite the "...too many holes in Pauling's
argument..." publications in
Germany, India, & the USSR did print various length excerpts.
Copies
of their articles & the original texts are in the Cal Tech Millikan
Library Archives. Dr. Pauling's appeals for accords limiting
nuclear weapons stockpiles & delivery systems contributed to the
eventual enactment of
the Atmospheric Nuclear Weapons Test Ban, SALT, ABM & other similar
accords.
