Though the program does not say who wrote what, the playwrights include Samuel Beckett, Dan Greenburg, Jules Feiffer, John Lennon, Leonard Melfi, Sam Shepard, Tynan himself, and others. Their playlets will doubtless enhance their royalties if not their reputations...
...being a tax-free museum which opens its doors once a year to maintain this status (but never announces that one date), it is primarily a club. Its members pay dues, which are munched away at the extravagant banquets served around a long table in the high-arched chandelier-strung main hall...

Schematically, the four chains, in which the acids are strung like beads, look like a letter T. The middle part of the T varies little from antibody to antibody. The chains' ends at the tips of the crossbar constitute the antibody's active regions and can be varied in billions of different ways to fit the structure...
