If so, this would be the door opener to the widely promoted "apology strategy" and I wouldn't be surprised if the next thing you see from the MoB is a plethora of new museum ethics and collection trained staffers, all hungry to forgive and forget, eager for a lucrative long term contract on Green's payroll. <br />lalbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558439785323763238noreply@blogger.com
