Traditionally, museums are reluctant to lend to fairs that have nothing to lend back, and fearing loss or damage, they dislike seeing their prized possessions housed in temporary fair structures where adequate police and fire protection is difficult...
...incredibly simple for an incompetent to write an experimental play these days, for one need only gather up the familiar themes and put them into a gaudy collage. The themes by now are well-established: crude irreverance for religion, farcical treatment of patriotism, glorification of the non-conformist, and above all, desecration of the rational, the normal, the commomplace.

Wherever Bach buffs gather, Scherbaum can be found-at the Ansbach Festival, for instance, and in recording studios all over Europe (his recordings have three times won France's Grand Prix du Bisque).

...California courtroom, an accused murderer will soon be confronted by a novel adversary. A witness for the prosecution will be an atomic scientist, armed with "radiation fingerprints," evidence that can be as accurate and reliable as a photograph of the actual crime. No ordinary cop could hope to gather such fingerprints, or even to decipher them. They are the product of neutron activation analysis, which requires that specimens under study be irradiated with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Then the fine details of their chemical composition can be deduced from the pattern of the radiation they give...
