Title

Linus Pauling Interview, December 8, 1985

Description

In this brief phone interview, journalist Thomas Hager poses some questions to Pauling on behalf of Oregon Magazine. Pauling gives his thoughts on activism in world peace, especially among scientists. He shares his views about militarism, Presidents Kennedy and Reagan, and Secretaries of Defense McNamara and Weinberger. Specific mention is made to a petition several physicists and university presidents have signed against the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the "Star Wars program."

Focus of the conversation then shifts to Pauling’s book How to Live Longer and Feel Better and the kinds of recommendations he makes in the book regarding supplements and lifestyle factors. It concludes with some discussion vitamin C’s role in treating AIDS, the difficulties of doing clinical research on the topic, and mention of Drs. Robert F. Cathcart III and Ewan Cameron and their work on the matter.
