[Finale] Shutting the door on the Gates?....

[Mariposa Symphony Orchestra]

I'malmost sorry to bring this 
erst-contentious subject back but far too perverse and morally weak to fight the 
urge:

There was in interesting piece in today's 
Times; interesting to me for two reasons: first -- that which was intended by 
the writer: trying to account for the $21 Million price tag. But also of 
interest to me was the author's claim that this exhibit pumped an estimated $254 
Million into NY's economy

My prior defense here for the spending of 
millions of dollarson what seemed to be a personal artistic statement, 
beyond all the other aesthetic reasons which I place first, was that of the 
boost to the local economy. That's the issue I use all the time when 
forced to defend private OR public spending on thearts -- and when I know 
I'm trying to sell the idea to people for whom only the bottom line 
matters. Restaurants, travel, parking, hotels, blah blah 
blah.

But I must say I'm personally amazed at the 
estimate of a $254,000,000 return offered in this article; the author gives no 
attribution for the figure's source;does anyone have any idea how ballpark 
the figure might be?

I don't blame the listers, who routinely add attachments to their mails.
However I was profoundly convinced, that the list server invariably, senza
variazioni, stripped off anything but plain ASCII from distributed messages.
