Interview with Richard Marsh. approx. 1991. Interview by Thomas Hager for use in "Force of Nature: The Life of Linus Pauling,"
(Simon & Schuster, 1995).
Richard Marsh: Corey was extremely - I guess modest is one word. Cautious. I don't think that on
a personal basis he ever was close to Pauling just because they were so different.
Pauling would come up with an idea and at that time he had funding, I guess from the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. And he talked to Corey and Corey would
kind of take it from there. Of course, Pauling had all these great ideas about putting
molecules together and peptides, what they looked like, and Corey pursued the ideas,
but in a very quiet and careful, perhaps, and slow way. He had none of this flare
or perhaps intuition.
