Laser microprobe mass spectrometry. A high-intensity laser pulse is used to vaporize and ionize a small amount of a solid sample. The elemental and molecular ions produced are then mass analyzed in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Eric Denoyer, René Van Grieken, Fred Adams, and David Natusch report
Mass spectrometry of middle molecules, in the mass range 1000 to 10 000amu, is described by Catherine Fenselau of The Johns Hopkins University, with emphasis on ionization and desorption, separation, detection, and the interpretation of spectra
MS of nonvolatile organic solids by fast atom and ion-induced techniques was discussed at a Johns Hopkins University symposium on Sept. 11. Catherine McNeal of Texas A&M reports

EDITORS' COLUMN
EDITORIAL
Critical reviews. Books on liquid chromatography in clinical analysis and analytical chemistry are reviewed by Henri Colin and Robert Pecsok
LC of proteins and peptides. The recent development of a series of new silicabased LC stationary phases has created a revolution in the applicability of LC to biopolymer separations
Literature cited and slighted. Scientists have a duty to view all research contributions objectively and to evaluate their proper place. A research paper's reference list should reflect the true state of the field, not merely the author's accomplishments.
