Payne might at least have got the host’s name right. We are the Natural Resources Defense Council. Calling us the National Resource Defense Council makes us sound like a federal agency when the truth is that we work our asses off fighting the Bush administration’s assault on the environment.

OOOH, GROSSE!
In “A Cut Above” [A Lot of Night Music, February 21–27], Alan Rich writes that Beethoven’s Great Fugue is “so ‘liberating’ that we still cannot grasp the extent of the space it demands.” Exactly! No one has followed along the trail Beethoven marked only by this one great blaze.

CREDIT WHERE DUE
In her review of the play Blake . . . Da Musical [New Theater Reviews, February 21–27], Miriam Jacobson kindly states that “The uncredited set and Mike Teele’s props are very inspired.” If Ms. Jacobson was referring to the backdrops, the creators of the backdrops would like to point out that, listed in the credits next to “Backdrop Paintings,” you will find the names Christi McAva and Steve Escandon.

CORRECTION
Arty Nelson writes, in his piece on Aaron Rose [“Prodigal Son,” February 28–March 6], “[Barry] McGee’s wife, the artist Margaret Kilgallen, died of cancer in 2001 during . . . pregnancy.” Actually, their child was born on June 7. She died on June 26. Also, he goes on about a “mural [that] contains . . . ‘Eat shit George W’ scrawled lovingly . . .” As far as I can see, it says, “George W is a wanker.”
