<< Since the NY Senate race 2000 is looming out there as a probable cause for
Giuliani's reaction, I was wondering if his (assumed) opponent Hillary Clinton
has made any comment on the situation or is she trying to stay out of it? >>

"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
somewhat shocking, but isn't that what the art is known as -- "shock art?"
Despite crisis control, the BM PR department must be loving the publicity the
Mayor is generating.....
