Settling a few old scores
Article Abstract:
Sotheby's employ specialists in musical manuscripts to detect omissions, extras and originality. They travel in search of missing manuscripts and investigate items offered for sale. They can hum the music they read in their heads. They decipher old Gothic script and authenticate pieces. It can be difficult to establish authenticity as composers used copyists who adopted similar mannerisms. The manuscript detectives scrutinise proof copies, first editions and autograph manuscripts.

Jeff Goldblum, you've got to hand it to him
Article Abstract:
Jeff Goldblum, 40, who stars in the film 'Jurassic Park' as Ian Malcolm, trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. After his first film parts in 'California Split' and 'Nashville' he moved to Los Angeles in 1974. He can get over-excited before filming and lose sleep, so he tries to ignore the call-sheet and be surprised by the schedule to keep calm. He believes in instinctive exchange with people to draw attention away from oneself when acting.
