ISBN: 8877610565 This work contains commemorations for Jerome Lejeune 1926-1994 William Wilson Morgan 1906-1994 Severo Ochoa 1905-1993 Jan Hendrik Oort 1900-1992 Salimuzzaman Siddiqui 1897-1994 and Janos Szentagothai 1912-1994. Note: Renato Dardozzi 1922-2003 was an Italian electronic engineer who worked the state telecommunications company of Vatican State. At the age of 52 he became ordained as a priest and soon became chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. For twenty years he was one of the very few directors of the Secretary of State of the Holy See the oldest and most important department of the Roman Curia first with the Cardinal Secretary of State Agostino Casaroli then with his successor Angelo Sodano. Dardozzi is perhaps most famous for being a whistleblower on unscrupulous financial activities of the Church smuggling over 4000 internal documents of the Vatican's central bank Institute for the Works of Religion to the press. "It is interesting to note that Dardozzi's motive for turning whistleblower was not unalloyed disapproval of the IOR's unethical conduct. His decision to smuggle his secret archive out of the Vatican was motivated at least in part by anger at the institute's refusal to pay him a commission on the sale of a valuable real estate property near Florence. The unusual monsignor wanted to leave the money to his adoptive daughter whose health condition required expensive hospital treatment. Whatever the reason Dardozzi's archive offers an unprecedented glimpse of the inner workings of one of the world's most secretive and unaccountable financial institutions" Willan. "Excellency" is the formal way to address a bishop of the Catholic Church. Willan Philip "Review of: How the Vatican Sold Its Soul" The Guardian 6/3/2009 available on-line.
