Summary: Baekeland's Resin: Miracle Material, Plastic People
Comment: This is a True story of tempestuous, incestuous Crime. Back in 1907, Belgian emigrant Leo Hendrik Baekeland created an early plastic he named Bakelite, the make-almost-anything proto-plastic which still brings joy to the hearts of Martha Stewart's flock and Diasporate Ebayers everywhere.

Bakelite made Baekeland very, very rich - such that his heirs were very, very idly rich. In 1972, one of the Bakelite babies' babies' baby murdered his mummy (a mere Baekeland by marriage.)

Authors Robins and Aronson stay in the background here, letting the principals, via correspondence and interviews, speak for themselves. Their torrid tale melds back and forth chronologically, and hither and yon geographically with the globetrotting High Society set, with an ironic only-in-true-life end: Death by Plastic. Sumptuous Decadence!
