This week, the good citizens of Toledo, Ohio, huddle in small groups in their living rooms and cast mutinous glances at their television sets. In bitter whispers, they account past sacrifices to the squat, pudgy object which stares back blankly out of its glassy eye. It was supposed to reunite the American family, revitalize the entertainment business, succor the optical industry. For these boons, people were quite willing, when the set took up residence, to shift their furniture and remodel their draperies to give it a fit setting.

...Busch-Reisinger Museum is brick-and-mortar proof that even the hatreds of war cannot break the cultural bonds between America and Germany. For forty years, the squat, white building whose tower catches the shadow from Memorial Hall has been the center of Germanism at the University. As such, it has been the target of the distrust and suspicion accompanying two wars and their aftermath's. But war feelings have never hindered the steady accretion of art objects that has made the Museum a world famous storehouse of reproductions and home of the finest collection of German paintings outside Germany...
