...biggest molecule known to man* is much too tiny to be seen, even under a microscope. But X rays and photography can make molecules dimly visible. Dr. Maurice L. Huggins, a chemist at the Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories, has produced this rare phenomenon-a photograph of a molecule...
Technical men, not brawny wildcatters, are the new glamor boys of the oil industry. This week sprawling Standard Oil Co. (Indiana) underlined this fact when it upped Chemist-Engineer Robert Erastus Wilson, 51, to its board chairmanship (vacant since 1929). Wilson knows better than anyone else in Standard how to crack the last salable product out of a gallon of crude oil. To make sure that Wilson will have enough crude to work on, Standard also upped Geologist Alonzo William Peake, a director, to the presidency, to succeed retiring President Edward Seubert. Eugene Holman, president of Standard...
...first chemist ever to head Standard, plainspeaking, heavy-set Bob Wilson is the son of a college professor (College of Wooster, Ohio).

In his research days he developed refining processes on which he holds 90 patents, including one on Indiana's widely advertised oil, Iso-Vis. Standard has cashed in on these and other processes Wilson had a hand in finding. Wilson has cashed in too. His salary of $60,000 a year, as president of Pan American Petroleum...
...chemist he sees little to worry about. Said he: "What if we do use up all our petroleum? In five or ten years, with the technological advances that have been made and are in sight, we can make all the gasoline we want from coal, and sell it for only 5? more a gallon...
...socialite fiancée (Helen Walker) that some of her cultivated friends discern in it "touches of genius." Others recognize it as identical in bloom and brushwork with the work of a portraitist who died some 50 years before. Even when Artist Karell lays aside the palette for a chemist's flask he is no Frankenstein, intent on making a living man out of spare parts of dead ones. He wants merely to preserve himself at a perpetual 35 by getting periodical surgical instalments of the glands of other men, who customarily die as a result of the transaction...
