I've noticed that the threads have disappeared on the subject of the
Smithsonian and the "Last Act."  I am curious about the outcome of the
meeting on Monday there.  The only news article I've seen here in
Edmonton is a small one in the Journal noting that the exhibit has been
"sharply curtailed."  Would anyone mind letting me know (privately if
need be) about this?  I attend a seminar about Museum exhibition here at
the University of Alberta, and my classmates and I have had many lively
discussions about
this exhibition, the issue of voice and authority, and the "ownership" of
history.  It takes a while for our library to get current American
newspapers out into the stacks for students to read, so I've thorougly
enjoyed the animated discussion about this subject here on museum-l.
 
Thanks for any info that can be passed along.
