...eastern Holland to examine a holy statue, he spotted something of greater interest-a painting that hinted of the early Rembrandt. Defoer spent the next two years in research trying to verify his discovery. This week he jubilantly announced his museum's acquisition of Rembrandt's Doop van de Kamerling (The Baptism of the Moor), the artist's second oldest known work. Painted in 1626 when Rembrandt was only 19, the 25-in. by 19-in. discovery depicts the baptism of an Ethiopian courtier by Deacon Philip, as recounted in Acts 8. Defoer, 39, declined to name...

...1930s rather than the '20s, and all the pretty young flappers have become sophisticated, cheating wives. The songs and routines are primarily parodies-of Cole and Noel, Fred and Ginger-and occasionally they are bang-on. But too often the emeritus flappers' old boop-boop-a-doop has gone poop; Wilson would do well to retire them before they are ready for The Old Man Friend...
