Actualy Newtons done some good. work. I would be concerned that an institution
which removed Newtons work from their shelves for reasons of political
corectness might consider themselves a university, it just seems a little
pretentious to me.

From his obituary in the NYT
"Mr. Newton received many awards for his work, including the Grand Prix
National de la Ville de Paris and Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters.
In October, he donated more than 1,000 of his pictures to a German cultural
foundation for a museum intended to be a national center for photography. It is
scheduled to open in June in Berlin. "
