Last week some Maryland chemists (the Maryland section of the American Chemical Society) stuck their collective neck out.

The theory was that the formation, movement and dissociation of molecules, the nuclear spins of electrons, etc., could be represented by appropriate music and dancing. The music was written by Dr. Donald Hatch Andrews, a musically inclined chemistry professor at Johns Hopkins, in collaboration with one of his students.

...good reason why politically-wise Harry Hopkins made no specific suggestions in his speech was explained by the Wall Street Journal: "Various New Deal officials and agencies had squared away for an open fight on Mr. Hopkins if he stuck a critical finger publicly into their particular affairs and the Secretary was content ... to deal in generalities . . . and keep specific suggestions in reserve...
