Personally, I would leave the modern stuff to the likes of Nelson Rockefeller, who has the Museum of Modern Art at his beck and call, or Paul Mellon, who has something like $1 billion to dip into. Even at that, the art is not necessarily appreciated. One of Paul's daughters brought a friend home from Foxcroft (that school demands a lot more than a "good seat" for riding these days!).

And last week the market quickly shook off the subsequent dip prompted by the Federal Reserve Board's increase in interest rates.
