Though they share an acronym, differences are deceptively 
insignificant. While the Detroit association is thoroughly 
capitalized, the 1916 association is strictly initial caps, if not 
completely lower case. In the beginning was dada, then in the 
thirties, post-Lenin Nihilism developed into LIHINISM, later into 
DADA.
