...grave by ardent phrenologists. When the loss was discovered and the culprits pressed for its return, they surrendered a skull which passed for Haydn's. But it was not. Like a historic football, the real article was kicked around Austria for 75 years until it landed in a glass case in the Vienna Society of the Friends of Music. The Esterhazy family (on whose estate Haydn lived and was mostly buried) announced that until the skull was returned, no one could have access to the valuable collection of Haydn manuscripts in the family library.

Shortly thereafter Thurman Arnold's Department of Justice trucked across the floor waggling a finger at patent monopoly in the glass container industries (TIME, Dec. 26). Last week it was the turn of SEC Chairman William O. Douglas.
