One of the ACS award addresses arousing wide and continuing interest is "The Three Ages of Science Writing," the James T. Grady Medal Address given by Lawrence Lessing at the ACS meeting in Los Angeles. Since the speech was published in C&EN (May 6, page 88), hundreds of reprints have been requested by scientific and professional societies, college chemistry and journalism departments, and individual scientists and engineers. Several teachers have asked for as many as 50 reprints for classroom use. Some of the nation's leading newspapers editors and television executives have expressed enthusiastic agreement with Mr. Lessing's views. Copies of the speech are still available at no charge from the Division of Public, Professional, and Member Relations at ACS Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Advance meeting registration for persons planning to attend the 146th National ACS Meeting in Denver next month is being tried by the National Meetings Department on an experimental basis. Registrants will receive their meeting identification badges, mixer tickets, and registration receipts by mail and no further check-in at the meeting will be necessary. Advance registration forms, printed in C&EN, Nov. 4, page 158, must be returned to ACS Headquarters in Washington, D . C , by Jan. 2 to be processed in time for the meeting.
