Maxon's creed: "'Museum' is no synonym for 'graveyard,' 'antique shop' or 'warehouse.' Personally, I believe that the museum must show its treasures with awareness of salesmanship and showmanship which is evident in a first-rate shop window or a Broadway show." Last week the new boss briskly proposed some changes for Chicago: "I hope some time to restore chronological sequence in the displays, and I should like to re-establish the American wing.

Anyone who's ever listed to Symphony Sid will dig that immediately. For the uninitiated, "down-and-outers" may be offered as a synonym for "Beat Generation," albeit a weak one.
