...Museum of Fine Arts is, in its own words, "Providing Easterners with a rare look at this country's Far Western heritage." I will refrain from a snide comment that it's high time the Eastern Seaboard realized that heritage does exist West of the Rockies, but I can't comment on "Frontier America: The Far West" because I haven't gotten over to see it yet.

Some of them have taken to making snide wisecracks about Simon: "When the President appointed an energy czar, he didn't know he was getting Ivan the Terrible...
