...deftly the Greeks-and Romans and Etruscans-wrought this versatile metal from 1700 B.C. onward can be seen from a display of 316 classical bronzes, covering a period of 23 centuries, selected from 79 private and museum collections by David Gordon Mitten of Harvard's Fogg Art Museum (see color opposite). The first exhibition on such a scale ever to be circulated in the U.S., the classical bronzes will be shown at the City Art Museum of St. Louis in March, later at the Los Angeles County Museum...

Evidence also indicates that the technique lowers the incidence of toxemia-a largely unexplained complication of pregnancy, which can be serious...

Today Scotland turns out more electronic computers...
From this point onward, Bulgakov's novel fans out into a frenzy of manic action in which Moscow is virtually taken over by the Devil and his attendant demiurges. These take their supernatural business for granted, while, in contrast, many plain Soviet citizens are deprived of their Marxist grasp of material reality by the apparition of the Devil, and behave like lunatics. First the poet, then assorted officials, unhinged by their attempts to explain the inexplicable, wind up in the psychiatric center...
