Summary

In this photography taken at the New York Academy of Sciences in June 1968, anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978) is talking to journalists. The person in background appears to be chemist Linus Pauling (1901-1994). Mead was then Vice-President of the New York Academy of Sciences and she and Pauling were appearing at a "Town Meeting of Science" conference, held at the Academy to discuss a perceived budget crisis within the sciences.
