It was a small concession to a friend who had enough outraged feelings to forget to whom he was writing. Many of the staff at WAC support what we are doing here ... they consider themselves a bureaucracy that would be happy to remain at WAC, working in the arts ... if only certain people be given the heave-ho.

This does not snipe at the staff even when you just said WAC. Nobody in their right mind would read Grim Tale and think that this business was the fault of a secretary or box office staffer. It was obvious who the writer was referring to. The staff of WAC and symphony management should be embarrassed for their bosses behavior but nobody has said that they are responsible for it.

We have been in contact with several of them who are in full support of the musicians ... and have used the word 'crucify the poseurs' in their communications. It's true that there is a difference between a High Overlord and a staffer, which is why -- on the strength of your comment, I changed the High Overlords and High Commissioner, and took out general references to WAC. Virginia Hepner and Stanley Romenstein have repeatedly and very publicly cast themselves as the authors of the solution, and the leaders of the organization, so they are fair game. The 14 weeks came from information received. I'll send you the source.
