When I was in college at Stanford a graduate student took a hammer to a
Segal statue on loan to the University from the city of San Francisco.
The statue was of two gay couples.  The student was thought to be
homophobic.  Can't blame that one on pressure or twinkies.  Highlights
the perils of public art.
Graduated and never found out what happened.
