Dangerous Molecule. Prime concern of physicists is the atom, of chemists the molecule. But whereas the batches of atoms created or transmuted by physicists cannot even be seen under the microscope, chemists now synthesize molecules after Nature's pattern in quantities that keep factories humming and salesmen humping. Molecules are groups of atoms which act as chemical units. The vast importance of molecular structure is well illustrated by the case of ozone, which is a modification of oxygen having three atoms in its molecule instead of the ordinary two. In the popular mind "ozone" has long been a synonym...
...several years the annual sessions of the American Chemical Society have been accompanied by extraordinary publicity in the lay press concerning new chemical discoveries applicable in the field of medicine and particularly for the treatment of disease.

Last week they reported on what they had seen, in a strange uneven book that suggested they could not quite agree on their findings. They saw horrors galore, filth, brutality, misshapen creatures of an unknown kind, a few recognizable human beings...
