I doubt it but then again, I suppose that most other museum people would
research a collection like that more carefully before buying it. Remember Small
comes from the corporate world, not a museum one.

I wouldn't be suprised if people start calling for his resignation. There is
little love for Secretary Small in a lot of parts of the Smithsonian and I'm
sure some people have been looking for an excuse like this for a long time.
