...voting shares began carping about its lackluster returns. While the Dow Jones industrial average has soared, Dow Jones' laggard stock has made it the lowest ranked company in the S&P publishing index. That sent Elisabeth ("Lizzie") Goth, 34, and William ("Billy") Cox III, 42, heirs of Clarence Barron, the 300-lb. patriarch who purchased the company in 1902, looking for advice from investment heavyweights such as Warren Buffett. Their conclusion: it's the management. "Finally, someone within the family started to question things," says Cox, who resigned as managing director of Dow Jones Global Indexes earlier this year...

Remembers Barron: "He didn't sleep very well. He was nervous and fidgety. He lived on Maalox." Armed with a telltale suicide note (the IRS "sits, does nothing, and watches you die"), Ms. Barron now hopes to collect $1 million in compensation under a recent tax law amendment designed to keep too-passionate IRS agents at bay. Undeterred by feelings of guilt, the taxman has slapped...

Exiles and Emigres," the exhibition running through May 11 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a fine example of a genre that often and easily goes wrong: the politically didactic art show. Its curator, Stephanie Barron, in 1991 created a survey named "Degenerate Art." Her subject then was the censorship, repression and persecution of modern artists in Hitler's Germany, culminating in the infamous "Entartete Kunst" ("Degenerate Art") show of 1937, in which hundreds of works by artists from Oskar Kokoschka to Henri Matisse were pilloried with insulting wall labels. "Exiles and Emigres" is the sequel...

This was a remarkable chapter in American cultural history, and one worth recalling today, as the air grows thicker with politically opportunistic denunciations of the immigrant--as though America was ever anything but an immigrant society. Barron's timing is impeccable, but this is not the kind of show that offers a continuous visual feast or a crescendo of visual achievement. It is heavy (and has to be) with information, pamphlets, books, press clippings, old exhibition catalogs. It comes up with some intensely interesting and little-known figures, such as Varian Fry, the Scarlet Pimpernel of cultural rescue, who after...
