Linus Pauling (1901–1994) was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 for his work
on the nature of the chemical bond. In 1962, the scientist was awarded a second Nobel Prize, this time the Peace
Prize, for his campaign against above ground nuclear testing. Pauling was included in a list of the 20 greatest scientists of all time by the magazine New Scientist, with Albert Einstein being the only other scientist from the 20th century on the list. His introductory textbook, General Chemistry (1947), has been used in schools for decades.

Red tape

It was common practice under Charles V, King of Spain in the early 16th century, to tie his most important documents with red ribbon to distinguish them from the less important documents bound with plain string. Other countries soon copied the practice as a way to speed up their administrations. Over time, the term red tape evolved to refer to excessive government rules and regulations.
