{"value"=>"<p>Memoranda and letters about reviews of gallery and museum shows, staffing of the department and assignments of the critics. Many of the letters complain of a relative paucity of reviews of gallery shows, or of the critics' failure to cover specific shows. Of special interest: Memoranda by AMR, William Honan and John Russell about the use of staff as critics or reporters (1983). AMR's announcement of Hilton Kramer's resignation and John Russell's succession as chief art critic (1982). William Luce's and William Honan's memoranda on an allegation that Honan's article on the DeYoung Museum was responsible for a theft there (1978). Correspondence with Milton Esterow about anonymous charges against John Russell (1976); correspondence about charges made in the book, The Art Crowd, that Hilton Kramer accepts gifts from artists (1973).</p>"}
