Certificates for Christians. The Y goes out of its way to respect Jewish customs. Its restaurant is closed only one day a year, Yom Kippur, and bar mitzvahs are regularly reported in the monthly bulletin.

With Tomatoes & Bacon. Today, Washington game officials plant 350,000 steelhead each year in Barnaby Slough, a well-hidden pool 50 miles up the Skagit from Puget Sound. Protected by wardens with shotguns from natural predators (mink, otter, kingfishers, mergansers), fattened on fish meal, they are released at the age of a year. The results are astonishing.

In the Experimental Station and dozens of other Du Pont laboratories across the U.S., scientists are exploring the mysteries that teased Aristotle, baffled Francis Bacon and inspired the ancient alchemists to try, as John Milton put it, "to turn metals of drossiest ore to perfect gold." The alchemists never succeeded in making gold, but Du Font's button-down chemists are doing something nearly as good. By rearranging the molecules of thin air, plain water, grimy coal...
