  • "unknown agenda" Either that, or massive stupidity. Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity... or "Cock-up before conspiracy".

  • This kind of wreaking old records worked there, but maybe conservative types now, yet I've seen a horrible liberal lost of the Canadien pic reference stored in Collingswood, NJ... (I hope they never destroyed the old artist files of pictures in NYC up near the 42nd Avenue, across from the now renamed Research Center maybe 30 years ago.) But this other library one had the beautiful photo of one of the prettiest 1890's woman girls from Vaudeville entertainment from New Brunswick area. Can't find her, the prettiest woman ever, who they called, "the diamond from the coal field area." Sad. <:(!)
