Money is the monkey on Hero Barry Nelson's back. He plays a middle-aged research chemist who talks in the tone of small boy pique: "Forty-three years old-and I haven't even got a power mower." In nagging antiphony he and his pouter-pigeon wife, Barbara Bel Geddes, sing the have-not-got-enough blues of a deceptively affluent suburbia...

A stout, genial chemist with old-school ties (Harrow, Oxford's Trinity College), Allen is a steam-railway buff who has written six books (Narrow Gauge Railways of Europe, Steam on the Sierra) on the subject. A former head of I.C.I.'s plastics division and Canadian operations, he is also a cost-conscious businessman who is quick to criticize corporations for "gathering information that is not needed, collecting useless statistics and disseminating unimportant knowledge...
Sharing this year's three-way Nobel Prize for chemistry are German Chemist Manfred Eigen, 40; Ronald G.W. Norrish, 70, professor emeritus of physical chemistry at Cambridge University; and Norrish's onetime student George Porter, 48, now a professor of chemistry. Eigen, Norrish and Porter were honored for their studies of rapid chemical reactions, which date from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Their Nobel-winning research revealed the subtle changes that take place during chemical reactions that last only one-billionth of a second. All three came to their award-winning conclusions by subjecting samples of various...
...demonstrators questioned Leavitt aggressively on napalm, Dow, and the war, until one protestor shouted, "Quit badgering him." Leavitt, a research chemist himself, said he didn't know enough about the war or Dow's policies to answer the questions. After a five-minute confrontation, he and Vanelli disappeared back into the conference room...
