...satellites of the earth, moving on orbits in the earth's gravitational field. Some are shooting up, others curving back. Some may be moving around the earth like infinitesimal moons. A few may escape from the earth entirely. For brief minutes, the WAC Corporal joined this throng of molecular wanderers...
Recently, for instance, Superman ran up against a mad genius called "Ghost Voice." Like any normal mad genius, Ghost Voice intended to conquer the world, and, through his familiarity with such contrivances as rocket-ships and atomic persuaders, damn near succeeded. But after weathering several molecular blasts, Superman balked the "power-crazed demon," who had had the United Nations eating out of his hand. Immediately following this chilling epic, however, Superman dawdled a whole fortnight, breaking up a dowdy bunch of racketeers engaged in fixing football games...
...Department's scientists consider their results inconclusive, but definitely promising. They have a lot more chemicals to try, and they have already established that slight changes in a compound's molecular structure sometimes make it more poisonous to insects or less poisonous to higher animals. Eventually they hope to find a Jekyll-Hyde chemical that will flow harmlessly in the veins of humans, but knock off any insect that sucks the human's blood...
...Aimed Injection." Degkwitz's invention: a new method of shooting an "aimed injection" of a healing drug at a given organ of the body. His method (which he did not make entirely clear to U.S. doctors) involves varying the molecular pattern of the drug. Dr. Degkwitz first crystallizes the drug in a shape and size that fits into the organ at which it is aimed. When the drug is in the form of needle-shaped crystals, for example, the crystals after injection into a vein go straight to the lungs. Round crystals of various sizes, says Degkwitz...
