...approaches to the Hand differ: one fights and the other acquiesces, but in the end, both lose. David Starr Klein as the rationalist is impressive; with cool, clipped prose he contrasts nicely with Joe Volpe's frenetic Man "B." And the Hand is great: mxde of foam rubber and looking about three hundred pounds heavy, it is the personification of imperialism...
Unmarked Vans. No show in the staid B.M.'s history ever generated such fuss or demanded such elaborate preparation. First, a firm of English packers spent five weeks in Cairo crating the treasures-each wrapped in cellophane, encased in plastic quilts, set on a foam cushion tray and finally shut in a carpeted crate. The museum stepped up its security precautions. When this groundwork (estimated cost: $900,000) had been done, the 41 crates were flown at night from Cairo in two BOAC freighters and one R.A.F. jet, then secretly whisked to the museum.

Last week, for the first time in North America, the Canadian Radio-TV Commission approved television commercials for a contraceptive. The product is Delfen foam, made by Ortho Pharmaceutical Ltd., a Toronto-based subsidiary of the U.S.'s Johnson & Johnson. Beginning in about a month, the 60-second color commercial will show a mother and child, with a sound track of cooing and gurgling. The message will stress family planning and will be carried only after...
