Talk:Linus Pauling

It really isn't fair to say that Pauling got the peace prize for misguided leftist politics. Above ground nuclear testing causes fallout, which in turn causes cancer. One doesn't have to be a leftist to agree with that.

The article doesn't say that--it says that those who opposed his campaign, did so for stated reasons. (If everyone in the world had opposed aboveground testing, it wouldn't have been done in the first place.) Vicki Rosenzweig
