About the Cover:

The brilliantly colored fabric on this month's cover was dyed by two compounds, each formed by a Grignard reaction. The experiment that introduces this staple reaction of the undergraduate organic laboratory in such a colorful way is presented by Taber, Meagley, and Supplee beginning on page 259.
