But, just like the three-ring circus that you watched, the guy(s) in back of the curtain are pulling the strings and we often don't even know who they are. I'd LOVE to know who on the board of the Asian said yes to JP Morgan's original deal and who wasn't watching in 2009 when the bottom dropped out, who decided to move the museum from the park and who made what out of the deal. I can make guesses but I'm not on the inside track. Here's where we need the old type reporters who knew everybody at City Hall and could get the real poop.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-63659147713797543302011-01-07T12:20:20.391-08:002011-01-07T12:20:20.391-08:00Dear Nancy: I still don't quite understand wha...Dear Nancy: I still don't quite understand what's been happening with the financial mess at the Asian.

But then, the old Roman satirist Juvenal had some choice words for the corruption of his own time.
