Not exactly related, but interesting fodder for a Friday:  This has been an
ongoing issue for the last month in St. Louis. The Board of Directors of
City Museum are selling the organization back to Bob Cassilly, its creator
and co-founder, who will change it to a for-profit. There is the latest of
numerous articles in the Post Dispatch in the last few weeks.
"Some doubt, stormy Cassilly can save, City Museum"
