Any bright little girl can move the dolls by manipulating a magnetic wand underneath the floor. "It's a new concept," explained Exhibit Director Mrs. Janet Freud (whose father-in-law claims kinship to Sigmund). "Now the child can control Mama and Papa. The mother can go to the sink or she can iron at the ironing board. The mouse goes down...
