Academic Freedom in "The Last Act."
Harwit, Martin
Journal of American History, v82 n3 p1064-84 Dec 1995
Defends the original script, historical interpretation, and inception of "The Last Act" (the Enola Gay Exhibit). Articulates the purpose of the exhibit as a thought-provoking examination, rather than historical revisionism. Maintains that critics failed to consider the exhibit as a whole. Includes a two-page chronology of the controversy. (MJP)
