"Sensation" has also become the latest issue in the duel between Giuliani and
Mrs. Clinton, both all-but-declared candidates for the Senate from New York.
Mrs. Clinton said Monday that she the museum shouldn't lose its city funds --
money that makes up a third of its budget.

At the same time, she said, she shares "the feeling that I know many New
Yorkers have that there are parts of this exhibit that would be deeply
offensive. I would not go to see this exhibit."

Having seen the show in London in 1997, I remember parts of the exhibit as
