She was the wife of Nobel Prize physicist Enrico Fermi. - Laura Capon was born in Rome in 1907. Capon met Enrico Fermi while she was a student in general science at the University of Rome. The couple married in 1928. They had two children: a daughter, Nella (1931 1995), and a son, Giulio (1936 1997), named after Enrico's older brother, who had died in 1915. In 1936 Laura joined Ginestra Amaldi, wife of Edoardo Amaldi, to write a book relating alchemy and the nuclear transmutation performed by their mates. In 1938, the Fermis emigrated to the United States to escape the anti-Jewish laws of the Fascist government of Benito Mussolini; Laura was Jewish. Though Fermi's prestige and membership in the Royal Academy of Italy could have mitigated the impact of the laws, they chose to leave instead. They traveled to Stockholm to receive Fermi's Nobel prize, and left from Stockholm for the United States, where Fermi had accepted a position at Columbia University. They were naturalized as Americans in 1944. In 1954 Laura resumed writing. Her book Atoms in the Family, about her life with Enrico, appeared shortly before he died of stomach cancer.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PAPER WRAPS OF A 1955 SYMPOSIUM HELD IN HONOR OF THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD'S FIRST NUCLEAR REACTOR, ENRICO FERMI (1901-1954). "In an extraordinary plenary session at its annual Washington meeting, the American Physical Society honored the memory of Enrico Fermi. Most appropriately the program was arranged and presided over by his friend, Hans Bethe. The history of Fermi's accomplishments was presented by five speakers, each of whom described one period of his unique career" (Bethe, 1955, 249). In addition to Bethe's extensive commentary, the journal includes the speeches of the five presenting speakers: Emiolio Segré, "Fermi and Neutron Physics"; Frederick Seitz, "Fermi Statistics and Its Applications"; E. J. Konopinski, "Fermi's Theory of Beta-Decay"; Walter H. Zinn, "Fermi and Atomic Energy"; Herbert L. Anderson, "Mexon Experiments with Enrico Fermi". Also included are photographs of a number of pages from Fermi's notebooks. Fermi was an Italian physicist "unique among the great physicists of the twentieth century in being one of the greatest in experimental physics and at the same time being one of the greatest theoretical physicists. He was unique also in the width of his contributions. He may have been one of the last physicists who knew almost all of physics and used it in his research" (ibid). Fermi was awarded the Noble Prize in 1938 for "for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons" (Nobel Prize Committee). Cropper, writing in Great Physicists, further's Bethe's point about what made Fermi so unique: "As a rule, scientists display their talents either as theorists or as experimentalist, but not both. Einstein, Maxwell, and Gibbs, for example, were great as theorists but not creative as experimentalists, while Faraday and Rutherford, great as experimentalists, were limited as theorists. Only Newton, displayed great talent both as an experimentalist, and as a theorist (and also as a mathematician). Enrico Fermi is another exception to the rule that physics is a bipartisan community. Fermi was, as his biographer and colleague Emilio Segré remarks, ?from the first a complete physicist for whom theory and experiment possessed equal weight'" (Cropper, Great Physicists, p. 344). Two unrelated papers are also present, Robert L. White, "Magentic Hyperfine Structure" and D. Her Haar, "Foundations of Statistical Mechanics".
