Occurrences in the United States were known as early as 1698 with numerous finds along Brandywine Creek in Pennsylvania (Frondel, 1988). The celebrated purse made from asbestos that Benjamin Franklin took to London in 1724, and which now resides in the British Museum of Natural History, may have been made of long-fiber asbestos from Newbury, Massachusetts. As a journeyman printer, Franklin made paper from asbestos, as did many Europeans. It was also used in making lamp wicks and cloth. Commercial mining in the United States took place some time after the first discovery of asbestos on Staten Island, New York, in 1818. (Asbestos continued to be mined at the site until 1876.) By 1825 more than seventy localities were known to produce asbestos in the United States (Robinson, 1825). However, as early as 1804 Jameson had recorded the mineralogy of the species and listed the numerous university, societal, and private mineral collections containing specimens of asbestos from U.S. localities and asbestos products of local manufacture. 

Table II contains a list of the aliphatic bridges detected in the toluene extract. Compounds with methylene bridges were predominant in the products from the fresh coal. This is consistent with the results of Benjamin et al. . It is interesting to note that several branched chain bridges appear in the transalkylation products from both the fresh and oxidized coals.

This case is a challenge to a Connecticut assault weapons ban brought by DeForest H. Benjamin and a variety of other plaintiffs, including a gun manufacturer called Navegar, which was doing business as Intratec. The ban involved both a list of specific weapons (such as the AK-47) as well as specifying similar weapons such as AK-47-type guns. The trial and appeals courts rejected the suit, which was then appealed to the Connecticut Supreme Court. 

In 1844 Benjamin Silliman and Benjamin Silliman, Jr., published this historic list in their American Journal of Science and remarked in a footnote it has been supposed that the original specimen on which Mr. Hatchett made the discovery of columbic add was sent in this invoice, and that some hint as to the locality from whence it came might be had (39). The only entry the Sillimans could find in this list, however, that corresponded at all with Hatchett s description of columbite was No. 348. A black mineral, very heavy, from the inland parts of the country. They concluded that we must therefore rest content probably in ignorance of the exact locality of that interesting specimen, although mineralogists have, on what evidence does not appear, considered New London as the locality (39). 

Another example of organic catalysis was reported (7. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, /26,450) by Benjamin List of the Max Planck Institute, Mulheim. The amino acid 8 cyclizes 7 to 9 efficiently and with high enantioselectivity. This is particularly remarkable given the ease with which 9 would be expected to racemize under acidic or alkaline conditions. 

The absolute course of the intramolecular Michael reaction can also be mediated by organo catalysts. Benjamin List of the Max-Planck-Institut, Miilheim, has shown (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 3958) that 9 is particularly effective. Michael addition followed by intramolecular aldol condensation gives the Irons bicyclic enone 11 in high .
