...happily toward the $1,500,000 Lilly Rare Book Library now being built at Indiana, Randall says: "Imagine putting up a building like that and not having a Gutenberg Bible to stick in it." But the spacious new library will be more than a shrine for ancient bits of paper and vellum. Thus far, Indiana's rare books have been useless to all but the few high-ranking scholars who could be allowed access to them.

Expressen is hale because it is hearty. Its formula: a smorgasbord of culture and sensationalism enlivened by flashy picture play and bellowing headlines. Last week, Expressen outdid itself, produced 600,000 copies of a 64-page issue, biggest in Scandinavian history...
