...market nutria ranks somewhere between muskrat and mink-$1,400 to $1,700 for a full-length coat. But so far, domestic pelts have not been too successful. U.S. trappers do not know much about preparing them. The Wildlife Service hopes that the quality will improve as trappers get nutria-wise. In any event, the nutria will be a welcome immigrant.

That made the 1,019th painting the National Gallery has been given since it opened its doors in 1941 (it has only found...
...television puts out three hours a day of newscasts, ballet, interviews, boxing, short films and full-length revivals (e.g., Marlene Dietrich in Blue Angel), and at least two plays a week. If only in technique, the plays are ahead of most things U.S. television has done. With no sponsors to worry about (the government foots the bill), BBC can experiment...
