...prove a magnet in its own right. Says he: "We cannot rival the Metropolitan in the Met's terms now. No one is taking whole carloads of treasures out of Egypt any more. But our museum can look to the Orient and to Latin American art easier and quicker just because of geography." He intends building on the present splendors to produce a top-grade total museum. "Doing it becomes an obligation," says he. "The new museum will become what all truly great museums are: an instrument with which a community can set increasingly high standards for its citizens...
Since factory output goals are either laid down in weight or quota by the planners a knitwear plant ordered to produce 80,000 caps and sweaters naturally produced only caps: they were smaller and thus cheaper and quicker to make. A factory commanded to make lamp shades made them all orange, since sticking to one color kept the assembly line uncomplicated.

He cuts out about half an inch of the tube and ties off both ends, and repeats the operation on the other side. It can all be done in about 15 minutes, for an average...
...Slight Ache lasts longer but makes its point quicker and clearer. Edward and Flora, a husband and wife, are enjoying a sunlit view of their country-house garden. He (Henderson Forsythe) is a scholar of distant cultures. She (Frances Sternhagen) is a busy suburban bee. Edward is obsessively irked by a human blight just beyond the garden, an aged, decrepit match-seller who haunts the forsaken site from dawn to dusk with no prospect of selling matches. Edward invites the old man into the house to have it out with him. The matchseller looks like a cross between a Skid...
