About the Cover:

The two stereoisomers of commonly used drugs can have very different physiological effects; sometimes these properties are even diametrically opposite - just like the "good dog - bad dog" metaphor for peniccillamine on this issue's cover. Starting on page 481, Edwin Thall reviews a whole series of drug molecules that exhibit this startling transformation when they "look in the mirror."
