[log in to unmask], 1 Jan 1994 10:49:00 PST671_- I recently visited the Richard Nixon library and museum in Yorba Linda, CA.
It was a fascinating collection of artifacts from his childhood and political
career. I was struck by several "facts" that were described in text that
accompanied the exhibit. One was a derision of protestors as the "violent
minority" which, of course, marginalizes a great number of legitimate protestor
s of that era. Another was an indirect attack on Sam Ervin of watergate
congressional fame, who, as the exhibit described, had only very recently been
opposed to desegration.(There was a distinct implication here that Ervin could
not have [...]41_1Jan199410:49:

reproduced, and exhibited as such, what fodder would that be for those who
deny the reality of the ovens? This is not a rhetorical question, and we

Publics" to support a research project for the Ontario Association of Art
Galleries. Shelly Falconer, a graduate student in our Museum Studies
Program, and I are advising the Association in their research design
for the project and would like to be able to assess the existing
research accurately. Shelly will be involved in a qualitative
evaluation of visitors to a local city art gallery and the work will
assist her final paper. As for me, I am interested in pursuing some
questions that have arisen and possibly publishing [...]46_2Jan199413:15:

A quick aside before I rush head long into the quagmire that
our technology has created: the issue of originals and duplicates.
Although I was at first horrified to realize that I had 178 messages
awaiting me upon my return to Berkeley from a two week vacation, I am
glad that I forgot to unsubscribe to museum-l while gone because as
usual the discussion has been interesting and useful. Museum-l goes
into 1994 the premier list on Internet. [...]43_2Jan199415:15:
