Go fly a kite! If you can’t, try the next best thing – a new museum dedicated to Benjamin Franklin, an icon of the scientific world.

SETTING Ben Franklin loose in the new Philadelphia museum dedicated to his accomplishments would be as electric as giving him another kite to fly during a lightning storm. He would get a charge out of it.
