Floyd Abrams

"There is no obligation from the city to fund the arts. But the First Amendment says, according to a wide, sustained, continuing body of case law, that the funding process may not be used to coerce institutions such as this to do the bidding of its political leaders. So while New York never has to fund any museum, once New York starts down that road, it cannot violate the First Amendment by a process of coercion, sanction, threats, retribution and the like." Mr Abrams is the legal counsel for the Brooklyn Museum of Art

Bill Clennett

"Puis, j'ai convoqué la GRC et la presse locale à un restaurant. En recevant le chèque, j'ai mentionné que j'étais pour le retourner à Jean Chrétien à ma façon. J'ai pris le chèque, je suis allé au journal Le Droit, j'ai endossé le chèque et j'ai demandé à acheter 560 $ de publicité pour notre groupe! La publicité intitulée "On est déjà pris à la gorge, ce qu'il nous faut, c'est des emplois." Je préférais perdre les 560 $. Je dirais même que ce sont les meilleurs 560 $ que j'aie jamais perdus de ma vie!"

Mr. Clennett and Prime Minister Jean Chretien are seen here celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Canadian flag : chretien
