Calgary is a rich city in a rich province. On a per capita basis, its citizens support charitable causes as generously as does any other Canadian city, but they are notoriously niggardly when it comes to supporting Calgary’s struggling non-profit arts groups.” National Post 09/26/01

Houston Ballet didn’t like a story about the company in the alternative weekly Houston Press. So the company has withheld review tickets from he publication’s critic and refuse to talk to reporters. Houston Press 09/26/01 [second item]
