That's why industry is looking very closely at Cooper's work. Polyethylene, a resin used to make kitchenware and a wide variety of containers, is a substance which was developed in laboratories. Cooper's research similarly holds open a host of practical and potentially lucrative applications in plastics and other chemical fields...
...models a 12-in.-tall clay figure, assistants duplicate it as a life-size nude. Real clothing is fitted on it by a full-time seam stress, who stitches the material to plaster castings so the folds will fall just right. Afterward it is sprayed with a stiffening resin to hold its shape. The casting method Johnson uses is so fine that it duplicates wrinkles on the leather of an old briefcase. He hired Japanese and Italian as well as American chemists to develop the polychrome patinas that color many of his figures...

The unpainted fuselage looks like a black plastic drainpipe but it is as tough as titanium; only carbide-tipped drills can cut through it. Pratt & Whitney engines concealed in each side of the plane drive the distinctive 90-in. propeller sticking out of the back of the plane. Because it weighs only...
