Archaeology Odyssey
Beware of Big Brother
The Orwellian tactics of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) described by Managing Editor Jack Meinhardt in Editor’s Page: The Two Faces of AIA, AO 04:03, are more evidence of political correctness—the suppression of a perceived truth in favor of a prescribed one. What’s next? Will photos of the Elgin Marbles be taboo because the Greek government wants them back? How long will your publication be allowed to print such exposés of the mean-spirited behavior Meinhardt describes?
