My father was a Ph.D. organic chemist who worked for DuPont at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, DE. We admired and even loved DuPont while I was growing up there in the 1950's and 60's (the "Better Living Through Chemistry" era).
Now I am learning the sad truth about DuPont (and many other industrial chemical manufacturers). Despite the many great achievements of their employees, DuPont was a diabolically evil company. The history of their GM partnership and their promotion of tetraethyl lead in gasoline alone is justification for this statement.
