Selling for $5.98 apiece, the two "photomensional" albums (a dozen old and new songs in each) are packaged in bakery boxes, the sort crumb cake comes in. Visible through a large round cellophane inset are F. & F.'s Vinylite heads, whose unblemished cheeks are supposed to feel like skin but actually feel like soapstone and smell like Mr. Clean. Each idol is mounted on a cardboard plaque covered with artificial suede and can be hung by a brass ring on a bedroom wall...
...sets by Horace Armistead were only acceptable-broad flights of steps climbing to looming, grey prison walls inset with barred gates and slit windows.

To its door last week paraded a steady file of visitors, intent on paying their respects to the erect, shock-haired old man who lives there in semiseclusion.

At various times, mostly in the 1940s and '50s, Walter had made other recordings of the nine. But Columbia decided on a repeat performance with latest recording techniques, including stereo...
...students of "Natural Philosophy" watched planets on long arms circle about a 4 ft. universe. The sun and moon moved in their appointed orbits; hands pointed to the proper phase of the zodiac marked on a brass ring that encircled the painted, deep-blue sky. Near the top, an inset dial indicated the day, the year and the hour. To Scottish-born John Witherspoon, Presbyterian theologian and sixth president of the college, the ornate mechanism both illustrated the majesty of the Lord's work and satisfied scientific inquiry...
