About the Cover:

The tomato juice rainbow featured on this month's cover is produced by the addition of bromine to the carotenoid lycopene, which is the source of the red color in tomatoes. MacBeath and Richardson (page 1092) provide instructions and explain the important biochemical concepts that the rainbow illustrates.
