Dear Eric: The "Arts & Leisure" section of the February 11, 1996 New York Times has a (pretty depressing) article entitled "Historical Shows on Trial: Who Judges?" The article refers to the Enola Gay exhibition; "Back of the Big House," at the Library of Congress; the upcoming Irish show at the Museum of the city of New York; the 1991 National Museum of American Art show, "The West as America"; and the Smithsonian's 1987 "A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the U.S. Constitution." Incidentally, I read the article on the New York Times web page (http://www.nytimes.com). Good luck with this fascinating project!
