- <p> Roll out the red carpet and get ready for the made-for-TV
- movie: Science magazine has created a new celebrity by naming
- nitric oxide its Molecule of the Year for 1992. The citation
- notes that only a decade ago NO was considered "just another
- toxic molecule." But how far it's come! Scientists now know that
- in small amounts NO is crucial to human physiology. It plays a
- key role in digestion, blood-pressure regulation, the immune
- system, the nervous system and a long list of organs. It's even
- essential for men's erections. Maybe that TV movie will have to
- run after midnight.
