Very good points, Midge. I wish I’d gone into a little detail about BLA in the piece.

Thanks!

Since the Pulaski Institution has an interest in place, who's doing what to capitalize on understandably fond memories of someone in a locale seems like the kind of story Pulaski could investigate better than a commenter who looked up some stuff while she was laid up with a cold. If there's enough there for a follow-up piece, we're interested.

I know the Manhattan Institute, which was supposed to be another conservative-but-liberal institution with a focus on place (the city, NYC in particular), has had problems with donor capture:

When the donor is Orban's propaganda ministry, that sounds even hairier.

I imagine a follow-up piece could be done. I’ll be writing more over at Arc Digital in the future so there may yet be more to come.
