Airport at Chantilly, Va. The

Built by Pioneer Lee

The two houses In Fairfax
County were built by Richard
Bland Lee, q brother Of Light
Horse Harry Lee and an uncle
OF Confederate General Robert
E. Lee. Richard Bland Lee was
the first congressional repre-
sentative from that Virginia
district.
Congressman Lee lived at
Sully after his term ended in
1875. Later, he moved to Alex
andria. His house there burned.
He was so disturbed that he
ordered that his next house
be built with walls too thick
to burn. As q result Lection,
constructed in 1912 Of Georgia
brick. has walls two feet thick.
Sully. q frame house. was
built in 1874.
Under the legislation, the
property would remain in Fed
eral hands. Virginia would
use rights to Sully and the
materials taken from Lection.
Senator Morse said demoli-
ton of the brick Lection would
cost the government from ST.
900 to $4,000 more than the
salvage value Of the remains.
The Fairfax authority will
bear the cost Of dismantling
Lection.

ssAa: Enrico Fermi and others build first
atomic pile.
ssAs: ]. r. Oppenheimer and others develop
atomic bomb.
seso. Edward Teller and others produce

1911 she receives second Nobel Prize, this time

Later she comes to America to receive gram of

A herOine's story: Two Nobel
prizes-but a private tragedy

a possible weapon. But all this time no
provision is made for these sel6ess gen.
fuses. The world, apparently, cares moth
ing. with great merit and even greater
modesty." says Montaigne, zone can
remain unknown for long time"
Now the full implications of their work
begin to appear. The immovable atom
moves; matter is touched with mysterious
life; physics revises its nineteenth-century
conceptions of the indestructibility of mat
ter and the conservation of energy. The
Curies are triumphant. And their first ma
jor decision is to refrain from patenting
their radium-extraction process. They give
it freely to the world. This gesture alone -
or rather the inevitable expression of their
characters = is enough to lend their lives
depth that can never attach to career of
mere success, however brilliant.
in 1908 the Curies, with Becque-
rel, receive the Nobel Prize for physics.
The world pursues them. Now they must
fee the world. ''In science we must be
interested in things, not in persons" says
Marie, who was never to be interested in
herself.
One evening, at the height Of their fame.
as they are about to leave for a banquet,
Pierre looks at his wife, with her ash-yay
eyes, her ash-blond hair, her exquisite
wrists and ankles, and he murmurs, ''It's
pity. Evening dress becomes you." Then,
with sigh, he adds, But there it is, we
