Re: Jeff Briggs response and previous postings: " It looks to me as if
they will try to shut down every media voice they can't subvert, and 
that this foreshadows something ominous."


The decision by the Smithsonian yesterday is one more bit of proof 
that this is indeed "something ominous."  The op ed in today's NY 
Times by Barton J. Bernstein, history professor at Stanford Univ. is 
a good counterpoint to the Smithsonian's move. The SI clearly sees 
the handwriting on the walls of the NEA, NEH, CPB and decided to pass 
on the recisions and deauthorization this time round. Official history 
will now be controlled by the loudest and most patriotic!  I expect 
Newt to put the Smithsonian up for sale, anyway, to make a pile of 
bucks for the government and get rid of all those objects that just 
take up space and people to keep track of them!
