The Reagan Library Potlatch

From Wikipedia we get the essence of the ancient ritual of potlatch
The Status of any given family is raised not by who has the most resources, but by who distributes the most resources.
From Time magazine we have a fine example of the Reagan family embracing that tradition.
An audit by the National Archives inspector general concluded that the library in Simi Valley was unable to properly account for more than 80,000 objects out of its collection of some 100,000 artifacts, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site Wednesday night.
No wonder Republicans accord Ronald Reagan such high status.
