...camel froth. Indianapolis' Eli Lilly & Co. is experimenting with pills that have to be taken only once a month, and Ortho is working hard on a vaccine.

Several oil companies have bought Delrin pipes for oilfield use. It has already been incorporated in some 270 products, from aerosol bottles to zippers. Manufacturers' requests for its use are pouring in at the rate of one a day, and Du Pont is rapidly expanding production...
