...worked with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Physicist Gordon Brownell to develop a scanning machine that shows, with a high degree of accuracy, not only whether a brain tumor is present but, if so, precisely where it is. Dr. Sweet gave Holly an injection of radioactive arsenic, which has an affinity for tumors. An hour later she lay on a cot with her head between two scintillation counters to which scanning mechanisms were attached. Soon, as the counters picked up the gamma rays, the robot pens showed that the arsenic had concentrated in one part of the lower...
...past two months one distributor has broken relationships with us. This was not because he wanted to but because of the request of Mr. Lydon who felt that the films we were getting from this place were of commercial value. The film in question was "Arsenic and Old Lace."

...months passed, the chemical ate its way through the tank cars. Arsenic trichloride, when mixed with enough water, breaks down into arsenic trioxide and hydrochloric acid in a chemical reaction that increases its corrosive properties. A good rain storm, Horse Cavers were told, could speed the tank leakage beyond hope of control. Already a heavy fog had carried hydrochloric-acid fumes half a mile away, where they killed a bean crop. Worse still, arsenic compound could seep through the famed Kentucky porous limestone into Hidden River, in the cave beneath the town, and contaminate the area's water supply...
