Even among the works suitable for exhibitions, only 2/3 to 3/4 are shown at any one time. Some objects are usually up on the fourth floor being cleaned and restored by the conservation department. Others are on loan to the Harvard Houses.

It nearly cost him his life. After firing several bursts from his AR-15 at the enemy, he himself was hit in the thigh and leg. An American MP floated Loan down the river under the protection of the floor boards of the docks and stilt-houses until he could be safely evacuated. Loan...
