Many scientists think that life appeared on earth when the atmosphere, instead of being its present mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, contained methena, ammonia and hydrogen. These ingredients, still to be found in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, slowly combined into larger and larger organic (carbon-containing) molecules, according to the hypothesis. At last one molecule, a complex protein, showed the ability to absorb other molecules and create replicas of itself out of their material. This "Adam molecule" was the first life; it could grow and reproduce itself...
...artificial heart-lung. There, one pump drew in the blood. Another speeded it to an oxygen chamber, where it flowed over a set of metal grids like the plates in a storage battery. Electronic controls kept the flow rate just right, made sure that oxygen was added and carbon dioxide taken away. in exact amounts, and even kept the blood at the proper degree of acidity. A third pump sent the refreshed blood back into an artery above the left side of Cecelia's heart...

Du Pont showed a 14% increase in sales ($440 million) and a 12% increase in profits ($53.9 million) over 1952's first quarter. While the second biggest company, Union Carbide & Carbon, was not far behind (sales up 12% and profits up 10%), some of the biggest gains were rung up by the smaller companies. Thus Mathieson Chemical's $4,700,000 net was a 79% increase, Rohm & Haas's $1,700,000 a 28% increase...
