Also on the subject of the history Anderson discusses it more in his recent book, including how excited he was on the flight back from India.
In Physics Today he wrote a short Reference Frame Who or What is RVB? which describes the inspiration in the 1970s from Pauling's chemical ideas.
This is an important example of the fruitful exchange of ideas between chemistry and physics. Note that the flow is not just in one direction!
