So far as I can tell from a distance, the Brooklyn Museum invited the
censorship as a way to promote its exhibit.  It did so in its own
advertising and promotion -- by telling everyone within driving distance
that it had a titillating and probably offense exhibit and then named it
"Sensational."  Do museum professionals have in our Code of Ethics some
"right" to act as flamboyant advance people for a circus?
