DESCRIPTION:From  the  discovery  of  the  neutron  (1932)  to  the  first
   demonstration  of  controlled  fission  (1942) was just ten years\; a pe
 riod that took physics from an occupation of a small number of  eccentric 
  gentlemen  and  (even  fewer)  ladies  to  something  of  concern  to\,  
 and  funding decisions of\, Governments all over the world. The shadows of
  those tumultuous years are still with us\, for better or worse.\n\nThis t
 alk will recount those ten years through the lives of James Chadwick (1891
 -1974) and  Lise  Meitner  (1878-1968)\,  contemporaries  who  played  piv
 otal  roles  in  the  events\, even though\, partly because of their retir
 ing personalities\, they are often overshadowed by "larger" figures.
