...those who love literature, the 73-year-old Folger Shakespeare Library, tel: (1-202) 544 4600; www.folger.edu, has the world's largest collection of the Bard's memorabilia and printed works-even beating collections in his native England, says director Gail Kern Paster.

He views the country's recent outbreak of Rambomania as proof that the climate is improving for his brand of journalism.
