Molecules in this weight class were called "space-enclosing cyclols." Significance of this work is that the way a molecule is built is bound up with its chemical behavior...

For nearly 40 years AP has been trying to make its symbol mean as much on newsstories as "sterling" means on silver. Unnoticed though it is by hurried readers, the little logotype can even by its absence make news...
