Although Nyholm had been in London previously it was not until 1955 that I met him. He had become enthused with the power of crystal field theory and had asked me to discuss certain ideas with him. I have only a hazy recollection of the meeting in so far as its chemical content was concerned but I remember clearly the brisk, Uvely and humorous manner in which he conducted the conversation. He was warm and friendly with a touch of pugnacious assertiveness in his voice. His enthusiasm carried a challenge to debate. 

Risks for rarely occurring events provide business for the Lloyd s Syndicate of London. Lloyd s is a consortium of wealthy investors who agree to back insurance contracts with their entire personal fortunes (unlimited hability) for such events as the loss of an opera singer s voice or an oil-tanker catastrophe. Lloyd s was a primary purchaser of corporate environmental liability reinsurance contracts, but it suffered many losses on those contracts and was forced to restructure itself in 1993, ending its 300-year history of unlimited personal liability (Raphael 1995). 

Air pollution probably occurred as soon as humans started to use wood fires for heat and cooking. For centuries fire was used in such a way that living areas were filled with smoke. After the invention of the chimney, combustion products and cooking odors were removed from living quarters and vented outside. Later, when soft coal was discovered and used for fuel, coal smoke became a problem in the cities. By the thirteenth century, records show that coal smoke had become a nuisance in London, and in 1273 Edward I made the first antipollution law, one that prohibited the burning of coal while Parliament was in session Be it known to all within the sound of my voice, whosoever shall be found guilty of burning coal shall suffer the loss of his head. Despite this and various other royal edicts, however, smoke pollution continued in London. 

Some months ago a leading firm telephoned the Secretary of one of the Colleges of London University and asked her to recommend an experienced woman chemist. We have an immediate vacancy, said the voice at the other end of the telephone. 

The doctor said I must stay in bed for at least six weeks, so my first experience of London was from the horizontal. I felt rather than saw the proximity of hundreds of thousands of people as our house swayed to the thunder of carriages and the slamming of doors, and voices came from above and below and either side of my bedchamber. If I...

Joliot s was an authoritative voice. G. P. Thomson, J.J. s son, who was professor of physics at Imperial College, London, heard it. I began to consider carrying out certain experiments with uranium, he told a correspondent later. What I had in mind was something rather more than a piece of pure research, for at the back of my thoughts there lay the possibility of a weapon. He applied forthwith to the British Air Ministry for a ton of uranium oxide, ashamed of putting forward a proposal apparently so absurd. ...
