The National Gallery of Art has, at last count, 108,000 old master and modern prints, etchings, drawings, and other works on paper — by artists ranging from Albrecht Durer to Pablo Picasso. None of them is on permanent view. Out of sight doesn't mean inaccessible, however.

Sarah Palin's impromptu, slightly rambling statement about Paul Revere last week set off volleys of verbal musket fire from her many left-wing critics in the media. Touring Boston on Thursday, she gave a folksy account of Revere's ride, saying he was one of the men who "warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, by ringin' those bells and by makin' sure that as he's ridin' his horse through town to send those warnin' shots and bells that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free."
