...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. Lately they have been so successful that Du Pont, the oldest big name in U.S. business, is entering a new era of change and discovery that has stirred up competitors and delighted Wall...

Because of recurring battles over rate increases with the consumer-minded FPC, the gas lines are usually involved in controversy. In a recent...
...rest of the film looks in on Manhattan's literati, proffering a view of life at the top that will be wonderfully satisfying to restless schoolgirls in Great Falls. Everyone is crude but beautiful, and Max Steiner's busy background music puts every known human emotion into italics. Champagne flows. Famous critics stagger to their feet at parties, uttering dire absurdities about "the prime young stag hunted to death by rich hunters." Youngblood is hounded to the bed of a sleek, wealthy matron (Genevieve Page). He goes on to acquire the Pulitzer Prize, his own publishing house, part...
