...diners began to crowd in, the orchestra--a trumpeter, drummer, pianist, and an accordian player--accompanied their progress with some thumpy renditions of familiar tunes. One of the selections was the "Donkey Serenade," but the Republicans did not seem to notice this. But at 7:14 the head table of dignatories began to march in, and to the tune of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here," Charles Francis Adams, Sinclair Weeks, Senators Saltonstall and Lodge, Robert Montgomery, and Senator Richard M. Nixon of California, among others, took their places...
...laying of the cornerstone three quarters of a century ago, was a ceremony complete with the presence of the Governor and the National Lancers of Massachusetts.

H. de Young Memorial Museum have two things in common: both are tax-supported to the tune of $300,000 a year, and the public's favorite painting at both museums is a religious figure. One painting is as still as death; the other crackles with fiery life. Some 500,000 St. Louisans visit their museum annually, and their particular pride & joy is Francisco de Zurbaran's Monk with a Skull, which cost only $3,000 in 1941.
