In any case it's providing a patriotic theme for many of the gallery shows. Rolly-Michaux and Vose are showing American impressionists.

Using these and similar studies, state and community planners hope to devise strategies for balanced tourist growth. Rather than employ scattershot advertising, such as Maine billboards with the inane slogan LOVER COME BACK TO ME, for example, many states could emphasize such qualities...
