The support of our SECM studies of liquid-liquid interfaces and related areas, by the EPSRC, BBSRC, Avecia, and the Wellcome Trust, is gratefully acknowledged. We have benefited from helpful discussions with several colleagues, including Prof. A. J. Bard and his group (University of Texas at Austin), Prof. D. E. Williams, Dr J. Strutwolf and Dr D. Caruana (University College London, UK), and Dr J. H. Atherton (Avecia, Huddersfield). At Warwick, Dr M. Gonsalves, and Dr J. V. Macpherson have provided valuable contributions to some of the work described in this chapter. 

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) is a joint project of the University of Texas at Austin, the Pennsylvania State University, Stanford University, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Miinchen, and Georg-August-Universitat Gottingen. The HET is named in honor of its principal benefactors, William P. Hobby and Robert E. Eberly. 

I also wish to thank the Bodleian Library at Oxford University for permission to do research in the Frederick Soddy Papers in their Modem Manuscripts collections, and the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University, for permission to work with Soddy s lecture notes and papers in their archives. I thank University College London, Special Collections, for permission to do research in the Sir William Ramsay Papers. I also thank the special collections librarians at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, for access to H. G. Wells s papers, and the University of Texas at Austin Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center for access to Edith Sitwell s papers. Frances Soar of the Geographical Association, the administrators of the Frederick Soddy Tmst, and Maxwell Wright and Gwen Huntley of Bunkers Solicitors generously helped me in my efforts to track down an estate for Frederick Soddy s unpublished writings. And I wish to thank Mark Smithells and the Smithells family in New Zealand for permission to quote from Arthur Smithells s unpublished manuscript in the Frederick Soddy Papers.

There have also been revivals of the steam car. Robert McCulloch, the chain-saw millionaire, spent part of his fortune on a steam prototype, called the Paxton Phoenix, between 1951 and 1954. William Lear of Learjet fame, spent 15 million in 1969 on a turbine bus and a 250-horsepower turbine steam car. Both used quiet, efficient steam engines although the bus had reliability problems and poor gas mileage. Lear also tried to enter a steam car into the 1969 Indianapolis 500. The British firm of Austin-Healey was also working on a steam car in 1969. It had four-wheel drive. However, even prosperous entrepreneurs like McCulloch and Lear found that they lacked the means and support structure to successfully mass market a competitive car. Alternative power systems would have to wait until air-quality regulations resulted in some breakthroughs with hybrid and even fuel-cell cars. 

DR. WILLIAM WOODRUFF (University of Texas at Austin) I d like to make a brief comment in a similar manner which applies to both substitution and electron transfer reactions. By and large, I think mechanistic inorganic chemists lack the equipment to study reaction rates in the subnanosecond time range. Yet...

More than most of us can hope for, Williams life was also filled with extraordinary gifts and accomplishments. For over 20 years he and his co-workers worked to discover, isolate, characterize and synthesize the substance he named pantothenic acid, an essential cog in the biochemical machinery of all living things. He also first concentrated and named folic acid, another B vitamin. As founder and director of the Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute at the University of Texas at Austin from 1940 to 1963, he and his colleagues made many other notable contributions to nutrition and biochemistry.
