Then last November word leaked out that Count Panza's fellow trustees had discussed selling some of the works to raise the next $2 million installment. This too would have been legal -- there was no agreement to keep the collection intact -- but when the indignant count blew the story to the press, MOCA was seen as a museum that could sell part of its collection to pay for the rest before it had even opened.

Have you eliminated ignorance, brutality, greed? You haven't, I know; but one has to ask. Does your world revere the past -- not us, specifically, but the past in general?
