And - yet, how is the Martin C.A.M. logo a better argument than the
logo being
using by the museum in 2009 ? It might better identify the museum
as a place
that recognizes visual distinction -- but what if we prefer the
museum to be a
place that attracts a lot more visitors ?
I have to laugh when William thrashes the "suited salesmen in the

The failing auto industry makes such a easy target, but how is his
educational
industry any different ?
BTW -- one of the links on the page goes to:
