...Wheatland's problem is a common one among instrument collectors. Sundials, astrolabes, globes, telescopes, and microscopes are old favorites with antique buyers who admire the shiny brasswork, wax the basswood, and wonder what the gorgeous object was ever used for. While the stiff bidding of these amateur antiquaries has made much of Harvard's collection too valuable to risk exhibiting, their uneducated enthusiasm has depressed its worth in the marketplace of ideas. It is scarcely surprising, with more interior decorators than scientists in the field, that scientific artifacts do not attract any significant number of scrupulous scholars. --From an account...

North America's most comprehensive welfare state is the Canadian prairie province of Saskatchewan. In a flat wheatland more than twice the size of New Mexico, 907,000 scattered inhabitants share a tradition of help-the-other-fellow frontier radicalism that is as old as provincial incorporation 54 years ago. But most of Saskatchewan's social-welfare schemes have been concocted since 1944 by Canada's only socialist government, run by the ever-winning (four straight elections) Cooperative Commonwealth Federation party.
