...Cheek's sound equipment will emit both lectures and soft music through the museum's ventilating system. During the local artists' show this month, the microphones will croon such apt items as Maryland! My Maryland. A subsequent exhibition of Russian icons will be set to Russian Orthodox music...
...armchair strategists might debate until their rockers broke about the subtle pros & cons of Sir Archibald's generalship in the Middle East last year: whether he was too cautious, or too slow, or too orthodox (TIME, Oct. 14, 1940).
