Martin Heeren's job is huntingrare chemicals not sold by supply houses. U.S. chemists apply to his National Registry of Rare Chemicals to find missing ingredients for their experiments that it would take them weeks or months to concoct themselves-if they could make them at all. In its 16 months, the Registry has solved thousands of such problems; today it locates rare chemicals not only for chemistry laboratories but for Government agencies, the Army, even foreign governments...
...hour and a half after the people of the United Nations began celebrating Italy's surrender, Radio Berlin was still soothing its listeners with a musical program called Let Us Go On Dreaming. After sufficient time had passed for hard-pressed Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels to concoct his explanations, the German radio let out the big, bad news by quoting Allied announcements, adding: "Marshal Badoglio, in the meantime, confirmed the capitulation in a broadcast from Rome, although the King of Italy on Sept. 8 rejected as slander the suggestion that Italy was thinking of capitulation." Later reactions...

...almost every aspect of life from obstetrics, where they are used as germicides, to undertaking, where they make embalming fluids more penetrating. Synthetic detergents-non-soaps with the cleansing properties of soaps-were first produced in the laboratory by the Frenchmen Dumas and Peligot in 1836. They began their concoctions with fatty alcohols extracted from whale oil, but the product was too costly to compete with that age-old detergent, soap. During World War I, when fats for soapmaking were scarce, German chemists again tried in earnest to concoct soapless soaps. Real success did not come until after...
