It was my understanding that the director of the Office of
Cultural Affairs failed to understand that she couldn't use
capital monies for a non-capital project. She promised
$100,000 she didn't have and couldn't have had as I read the
story. This failed promise is what caused Marshall Fields
to withdraw their support and ultimately collapsed the
program. I don't care who you are - you don't go around and
promise $100,000 to convince others to participate if you
don't have it. And to start the interview process and
promise kids you are going to do something without having it
completely in place is also inappropriate IMHO.
