Summary:Lenina and henry take helicopter and fly over smokestacks. Lenina questions what the balconies on the smokestacks do and henry replies with phosphorous recovery from adult corpses. Henry states that all men are physico-chemical equal, and lenina has a flash back to a re-occuring dream of hers. The helicopter is shot up by a rush of hot air from the smokestack which lenina thinks is fun, but henry states that the switchback was a human finally and definetly dissapearing. They then land and have some soma then go dancing (all music is about soma), and they return to their housing for the night.
PT.2- Bernard goes to a Ford ceremony and is late, but is not the last one to arrive. He quickly sits down and finds that he has chosen the worst seat possible in the room. They then take soma tablets and soma strawberry ice cream. They then begin singing hymns and start drinking to Ford's return. They believe that they hear Ford's footsteps approaching, and at the peak of the chanting begin to recite childish peotry. Bernard after the worship states that he didn't feel like Ford was coming, and couldn't stand Morganna Diesels eyebrow.
Interpretation: This chapter pretty much showed the uses of soma and the importance of the wonder drug to the society.
