...doors of the museum and got his master plan rolling to save one of the finest collections of paintings in the world, including 74 Rubenses, 10 Rembrandts, 26 Van Dycks, 15 Dürers, 10 Titians, 12 Tintorettos, 9 Veroneses, choice works by Giotto, Raphael.

The best were sent to the salt mines near Salzburg, Austria, where Buchner's careful investigation had found perfect temperature and humidity, and a bombproof mountain on top.

...well. Her fans are there to look, not listen." Michiko's looks have sold 100,000 copies of her first Victor recording (Banana Boat Song, Venezuela) in a single month, and have touched off a deluge of fan letters, mostly from teenagers.
