The cover features a Pacific yew tree and the molecular structure of
taxol, a potent anticancer drug that was first isolated from the bark
of the Pacific yew. These images are part of this month's Viewpoints
paper, "The Art and Science of Organic and Natural Products Synthesis",
by K. C. Nicolaou, E. J. Sorensen, and N. Winssinger
(pages 1225-1258).
The cover was designed by Betsy True.
