The discussion on whether or not museums are key players in society has evolved
into a discussion on what curators really do. Is this the sort of emergent
phenomena Robert Guralnick had in mind in his 15 June 94 missive on complex
systems?
 
>From a review of Gell-Mann's "The Quark and the Jaguar" (Sidney Coleman,
Science, 3 June 94, p. 1480): "No one can judge an emerging theory until it has
finished emerging. The veil of the temple is always trembling, and there's no
way to know if what is coming forth is the Darwinian revolution or just the
dawning of the Age of Aquarius..."
