...Woodward's seven-page description of the synthesis, as reported to the Journal of the American Chemical Society, reads: "2 -(β, β-Dicyanovinyl)-3, 5-dimethyl-4-ethylpyrrole was converted by sulfuryl chloride in acetic acid at 55° to 2-(β, β-dicyanovinyl)-3-methyl-4-ethyl-5-chloromethylpyrrole [m.p. 189-192°], and thence, by condensation with 3-carbethoxy-4-methylpyrrole in hot aqueous etha-nolic hydrochloric acid to 3', 4-dimethyl-3-ethyl-4'-carbethoxy-5-(β, β-dicyanovinyl) dipyrrylmethane [m.p. 195-197°], which, with β-carbomethoxypropionyl chloride in dichloromethane in the presence...
...stations called Brainatoriums or Braindromats, where attendants (appropriately clad in white jackets) will wipe off your glass cortex and polish the chrome of your cerebellum while pumping in five ounces of grey matter?

Redistilled to remove foul-tasting fusel oil, aged for color and character in charred oak casks, the alcohol becomes whisky. Robinson is so explicit that an attentive reader with no fear of federal agents could try it himself...
...place as head of the General Motors Research Corp., a vice president's title, a seat on the G.M. board and a fortune estimated at $33 million. For the next 48 years he kept probing, testing-often failing. But his successes included quick-drying paint, chrome metal, ethyl gasoline, a two-cycle diesel engine for locomotives-and more than 100 others...
