At play's end, simple-witted Bernie is out in the once pristine West shilling with a tom-tom for some once noble Indians who are now corrupt enough to con the tourists with their fabricated trinkets. This scene contains the essence of the Hellman vision...
...named Eugen Lucius, perfected the first instant dye, which won wide popularity after a French silk dyer used it to dye green the silk to be used in an evening dress for Emperor Napoleon Ill's wife, Empress Eugenie. Soon researchers, using Hoechst dyes, learned that they could stain living and dead tissue to study the origin and spread of diseases. Famed Microbiologist Robert Koch used Hoechst dyes to discover the organisms causing anthrax and tuberculosis. Over the years, Hoechst scientists developed Novocain, the first effective local anesthetic, produced Adrenalin, the first synthetic hormone, and opened...
