WEB BOHEMIAN (Monday, January 18, 2010)
(1)- MUSEUM GRANDEUR -- For all its epic Kensingtonian splendour, the Victoria & Albert Museum can sometimes seem like a vast curiosity shop. As with New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, wandering without purpose can be a bit overwhelming.

(2)- RELIGIOUS WARS -- The Church of Scientology is running its "free personality test" today in The Tennessean. Nashville is headquarters city for southern babtists, among the most conservative evangelical faiths.

(3)- NORWAY – From Norway comes the news criminal foreigners who serve more than a year in jail will henceforth automatically qualify for welfare. After three years in prison, they will have a right to a government pension and to health coverage.
