...ancient alchemists to try, as John Milton put it, "to turn metals of drossiest ore to perfect gold." The alchemists never succeeded in making gold, but Du Font's button-down chemists are doing something nearly as good. By rearranging the molecules of thin air, plain water, grimy coal and crude oil, they are not only transforming and enriching the fabric of daily life but laying the foundations for new industries.

In the slender person of James Franciscus, schoolteacher star of TV's Mr. Novak, Youngblood's red corpuscle count seems low. Down home, Mama Mildred Dunnock no sooner scolds him about "wastin' yur time scribblin' stories" than the phone rings. Long distance. A famous publisher is plumb crazy about his book. He heads for Manhattan, meets a fetching editor (Suzanne Pleshette) whose first...
