The story from the Twain House in CT is very much in the same vein as
a story that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Feb. 8
titled "The Enronification of a Museum Near You" by Eric Gibson.
The Wall Street Journal article was in regard to the Smithsonian
but the trend is the same.  In a nutshell, the days of museum
directors who are actively engaged in collections and programs that
give identity to his or her museum are over.  They are "being run
as a business rather than being run as a cultural institution,
and they're very different philosophies."
