...chemical that most efficiently killed the poppies was an acid known as 2.4-D. The best marijuana spray was a more toxic salt, paraquat, developed by Britain's Imperial Chemical Industries; it is a poison that becomes tasteless, odorless and colorless after it is sprayed on crops. As little as one-tenth of an ounce of paraquat can kill humans who swallow it. Lesser amounts can cause scarring of the lungs, which can lead to an irreversible condition called pulmonary fibrosis. The herbicide can also cause lung hemorrhaging and vomiting...

Brecht said he wanted play goers to judge Mother Courage, not to weep for her; and The Acting Company, which tours the entire U.S., deserves credit for trying it that...
...Open this year, an orange golf ball was conspicuous by its presence. This year's Open was also noteworthy for the USGA's decision to artificially stimulate the growth of the rough by liberally applying a substance known as gibberellic acid...
...coating of gibberellic acid is by no means the first attempt at chemical golf. In 1928 Samuel J. Bens of New York City took out patent #1,664,397 on a golf ball "with chemical pockets dotting the outer skin." When the ball impacted the pockets burst, releasing a miasma of ammonium chloride. This simple method of chemical detection would definitely be a boon to the golfer traipsing his way through a snow bank in search of the elusive pill...
