...Wyeth spell will be in full operation next week when Buffalo's Albright-Knox Art Gallery opens the largest (143 items) Wyeth exhibition ever held.

The Revised Standard Version was not considered a likely source of profit in 1936 when Nelson decided to help the National Council of Churches finance the revision in return for a ten-year exclusive license on its sale. Many churchmen and publishers thought the RSV could never make a dent in King James Version sales, but it now accounts for a fifth of the U.S. market.
