...years of his exile after the Bolshevik revolution, Vladimir Nabokov obsessively sought to recapture "a Russian something that I could inhale/ but could not see." There are glimpses of that Russian something in Photographs for the Tsar (Dial; 214 pages; $35), the best of the color shots that the chemist and photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii began taking in 1909 at the behest of Tsar Nicholas II.

Entrusted with the policing effort are Pharmacologist Robert Dugal and Chemist Michel Bertrand of Montreal's National Institute for Scientific Research. The two men, who performed similar duties at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, are armed with millions of dollars worth of sophisticated laboratory equipment, including 16 gas chromatographs, four of them linked to mass spectrometers. The devices are sensitive enough to pick up one trillionth of a gram of amphetamine in a urine sample. They can also detect other stimulants and painkilling narcotics taken 72 to 96 hours before the test and steroids used as long...
