    In the United Nations, each member nation has a display case wherein
is exhibited to the world a wild and colorful combination of exquisite
treasures, cultural arts, rare artifacts, unique products, and other precious
or honored items of history, nature, and documentation that proclaims to all
the individuality, pride, and marvel that is indigenous to that country. The
display which the United States of America maintains is stark, by comparison.
It is a small, unadorned box, which visitors walk around. It contains only one
item.  A rock..... From the Moon.
