We comprise a select part of an honourable profession. We are entrusted, day after day, with the exercise of considerable power. Its exercise has dramatic effects upon the lives and fortunes of those who come before us. Citizens cannot be sure that they or their fortunes will not someday depend upon our judgment. They will not wish such power to be reposed in anyone whose honesty, ability or personal standards are questionable. It is necessary for the continuity of the law system as we know that there are standards of conduct, both in and out of court, designed to maintain confidence in those expectations. -- Mr Justice Thomas, a judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland1 Introduction: “Let’s have a look at what is going on around the Tribunal. Reparative acts, judgements. This has all been provoked by a political game whose aim is to annul a mechanism which is called the separation of powers.

XXII, 5 SECTIO AA 1967 Włodzimierz Hubicki Marie Skłodowska Curie et le Congrès des Médecins et Naturalistes Polonais de 1900 Dans l’histoire de la chimie, le XIXème siècle est particulièrement riche en découvertes de nouveaux éléments; à vrai dire, elles ne furent pas toutes confirmées et beaucoup de ces éléments, prétendus nouveaux, tels que le démonium, le cosmium, le lutium et le rogérium furent, bientôt après leur „découverte”, rayés de la liste des éléments. Le 18 juillet 1898, Pierre Curie et sa femme Marie, née Skłodowska, présentèrent à l’Académie des Sciences une note Sur une substance nouvelle radioactive contenue dans la pechblende. L’un des auteurs, pro­ fesseur de physique à l’Ecole Municipale de Physique et de Chimie Indu­ strielles, était bien doué, mais connu seulement pour ses recherches sur la piézo-électricité. Quant à sa femme, on savait qu’elle faisait les premiers pas dans le domaine de la physique et qu’elle avait commencé à préparer une thèse de doctorat. Leur note sur la découverte d’un nouvel élément était rédigée avec une extrême précaution: „[...] Nous croyons donc que la substance que nous avons retirée de la pech­ blende contient un métal non encore signalé, voisin du bismuth par ses propriétés analytiques. Si l’existence de ce nouveau métal se confirme, nous proposons de l’appeler polonium, du nom du pays d’origine de l’un de nous”.1 La communication fut accueillie avec méfiance.
