"No Comment" Department--In Shelton, CT, a school bus stop was changed after a parent complained that his 10-year old daughter was offended by a model of Michelangelo's David in a private office park. The 15 ft. statue is one of 20 works of art throughout the complex that was purchased for the benefit of the workers and the community.-- In compliance with New York City's crackdown on leash law violators, an artist has assured city officials that his life-sized bronze statue to be unveiled soon in Tompkins Square Park called Man and His Dog will include the requisite leash.
