Louise,
It is water under the bridge. You totally mis-read Mr. Gatto. On the other hand Mr. Gatto had been fed the purest baloney by one kinsman while talking about another kinsman. Then you posted something that is going to result in my having to almost apologise to Mr. Gatto on another aspect of the oligarchy's taking over of the public schools. In other words that has now become a tempest in a teapot even if you are still totally off the mark about Fred Taylor, manufacturing and the prevailing conditions during La Belle Epoch. Who cares? I don't. You are the only one getting hurt.
Ron
