Summary

"By-Word," the sound system offered to visitors at the National Museum of Natural History ceases using the headsets used for the previous six years, and begins employing plastic wands, which "'talk' to a person through most of the Museum's exhibit halls, issuing a fund of information not covered in the written exhibit labels."
