Thanks, Jon.

For anyone really interested in getting to the bottom of this charming
affair, I suggest the approach that might be the most effective might be to
concentrate on two questions.

1) Can it be shown whether the "the dissolved Forestieri-Steiner fund" ever
existed? If there is no evidence at all, the game is up.
2) Can the article "Rosenthal (2005)" be identified? If not, the game is up
again.

Best wishes,
DM
