Gold Piano in White House Spoils Harmony
Washington March 9 A protest against keeping the new $10,000 piano in the White House east room arises. Architects differ on gilded decoration while praising its craftsmanship.

Library binding and cataloging issues are discussed, with focus on unbound books and costly back-titling. Detective stories remain a favored genre among lawmakers and readers.
