...would think that a philanthropist deserved the right to give his money, then sit back and take some small satisfaction in the pleasure it provides others. Or, if he prefers, just forget about it. Not in New York City. Millionaire George T. Delacorte (Dell Publishing Co.) financed an Alice in Wonderland sculpture for Central Park, then watched vandals assault it.
