...involved the common chemicals ethyl alcohol and acetic acid, which, in the presence of a catalyst, quickly combine to form an aromatic compound called ethyl acetate (without a catalyst, the reaction occurs very slowly). Instead of using standard catalysts, however, the scientists chemically locked both molecules into various synthetic ring-shaped, larger molecules called "holders," which are in effect chemical vises. After many attempts, they hit upon a holder that gripped the ethyl alcohol and acetic acid so that they were properly oriented for combination; thus when the molecules met, their reacting oxygen and carbon atoms were always...
...hand of any lord she chooses. The King recovers in two days, and she picks Bertram, who wants none of her. He is forced to marry her, but leaves at once to fight in the Italian wars, and sends her a message: "When thou canst get this ring upon my finger, which never shall come off, and show me a child begotten of thy body that I am father to, then call me husband." Eventually Helena turns up in Italy, where she bribes a widow's daughter, Diana, with whom Bertram has a midnight assignation, to yield her place...
Joseph Maher plays the vile braggart Parolles very close to farce.

But why must he change Shakespeare's "an idle lord" to "a foolish lord"? Once started, there is no end to such idle tinkering...
...General Motors plant in Los Angeles, undercover police recently smashed a ring selling drugs at lunchtime from a camper in the parking lot. In Manhattan, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. has dismissed more than 100 employees during the past year for using drugs. "Wall Street firms are scared to death about drugs," reports Ernie Odom, an ex-addict who has charged companies $200 for his well-attended seminars on drug detection. In Detroit, an assembly-line worker at the Dodge plant notes: "Guys are always stoned. Either they're high from pills to keep them awake or they...
...planned SDS demonstration against Mayor Stokes. Another person then rose to say he wanted to stay in the auditorium and discuss the future of the antiwar movement, which was supposedly the purpose of the conference. "I did not come 2000 miles to go to another demonstration," he said. Harry Ring, the editor of the Militant, then got up and said he opposed a demonstration against Mayor Stokes. He said the black people of Cleveland were under an illusion, and their "level of consciousness" was such that they would not march agonist Mayor Stokes...
