...York, Boston and The Old Sturbridge Colonial Village--among other places. The last town may surprise you (it certainly did this interviewer), but not so once Dr. Prakash has explained the rather unique aspect of Indian museums. India's museums are generally of the multi-purpose type: mixtures of, say, The Gilbert Hall of Science, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Non-Representational Art, and the Museum of Natural History--to name a few of the typically specialized museums particular to America. To support these institutions, the Indian government settles $30,000,000 of its rather shaky budget upon them...

...printed word might never be the same. Still, considering the general run of summer fiction, Wallach's fable is funny enough. He tells of a soulful young swimming-pool salesman who leaves Manhattan because "inside stuffy little apartments a million parakeets mess up their cages and refuse to say an intelligent word"-a conception subtle with the flavor of Zen-Zen, the West Coast's cultural mouthwash. In California, the hero sells pools frantically, working toward that aqueous millennium when "canoe trips from San Francisco to Tia Juana would be feasible, all by swimming pool and with...
