Give Us Those Ruby Slippers

This week Judy Garland--lovers felt a disturbance in the force when one of the four existing pairs of ruby slippers used in The Wizard of Oz was stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The shoes, insured for a million dollars, were on loan from a former child actor who collects memorabilia. The only other pair on display to the public are those at the Smithsonian. Here's hoping they're keeping an extra-careful eye on them.
