...layman in the field, many of the Museum's exhibits verge upon the spectacular. Twenty-five foot totem poles dwarf the onlooker in the hall of Indian ethnology; in the Bowditch Hall of Middle American culture, huge casts of Mayan, statuary tower two floors in height. On Peabody's top floor, the skull of Mt. Carmel Man, the only Paleolithic man on exhibit in the United States, sits staring moodily at his bones in case across the hall. Not far away stands the Museum's ample collection of shrunken and mummified human beads, calculated to surprise even the most hardened...

...matter which way he turned last week, Arthur Godfrey appeared to be in trouble. The Civil Aeronautics Board had given him ten days to answer the charges of careless flying made against him by the CAA. If Godfrey admitted thai: he had deliberately buzzed the control tower at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, he was almost certain to be disciplined (by reprimand, fine, suspension or revocation of his private pilot's license). If. on the other hand, he could come up with no better excuse than the one he had used in his broadcast-that his twin-engined...
