...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. The museums are also supported by whichever of the fourteen states of India they happen to be in--the State Museum and its regional brothers being placed under one State Director--and that's where Dr. Prakash comes...

There he spies the girl of his dreams-but alas, she loves a weight lifter. Can the underpected salesman sunder this pair? Sure he can, if he will only assert his baritoned intelligence against the rival falsetto. A falsetto, of course, is-in the definition of Poet-Punster Mark Van Doren-a guy with a false set o' values...
