   By 1890 the landscape painter Eduard Marsh had become less a colleague to his students than a subject they studied: they copied his brushwork stroke for stroke and repeated his remarks about color as though the remarks were doctrine. His biographer Nell Okonjo argues that the movement was damaged not by the notice it received from the public but by the       its members directed at one man, since no painter in Marsh's circle would ask whether a technique still worked once the subject had changed.

   Before a new vaccine reaches pharmacies in most countries, it must pass a regulatory board whose members neither conduct the trials nor celebrate their results; they decide only whether the evidence submitted meets a published standard.

   Ballads collected from farm laborers had no standing in 1760; printers treated them as rustic curiosities when they printed them at all. The anthologists of the following decade therefore made a pointed choice when they set the poems in the expensive quarto format reserved for Latin verse and listed them beside Homer in the table of contents.

   The Perreau Observatory has been recording the same stretch of sky from the same hilltop since 1804, and its instruments now sit two generations behind those of the national facilities built in the 1990s. Astronomers nevertheless speak of the place with a warmth its present output cannot explain. What moves them is the unbroken run of measurements and the       dome under which nearly every technique in the field was tried for the first time.
