About the Cover:

In the United States, National Chemistry Week (NCW) is November 5-11, 2000. The American Chemical Society has chosen kitchen chemistry as this year's theme. Many articles in this issue can help you celebrate NCW 2000: kitchen and consumer chemistry (pp 1256-1270, 1307-1310, 1321-1342), outreach (pp 1291-1297), and real-world chemistry (pp 1298-1306, 1311-1320).
