uuuuuuiiiihkkkkkk Is it true!??!!
In trying to determine whether this blog entry has just been spammed, I found a page that offers “permission” to link to pages on the ColumbianExpo domain name, but only on several conditions, one of which being that the link be used to promote the DVD in a good light.

I haven’t seen the DVD, but since I don’t agree to those terms, I’m removing the link. You can still type in the URL yourself if you want.
For more on the Columbian Exposition, see “Expo – Magic of the White City,” a new DVD narrated by Gene Wilder.
