Abstract
A brief biog. of chemist Linus Pauling is presented to det. whether he was a revolutionary chemist. Pauling did not set out to initiate in revolution in science, but he was eager to participate in the newest front of scientific advance. There was no crisis in Pauling's youth, but there were puzzles and anomalies to be solved. Pauling saw clearly that the new chem. he was helping to construct required a new language, new representations, and new textbooks.
