Hi Marsha

Thank you for your reply. I'm sure Brok is a very smart man and I am looking 
forward to reading Humphrey's book. And I didn't mean to impugn your reading 
skills. I do think that care must be taken not to place value in the object 
however, which seems the gist of the "Value of Art" proposal. I am sure 
Platt doesn't mean to do that but every time I read about how much value he 
believes art has, that is how it comes across (to me).

Thanks again,

Dan
