I'm kneedeep in the final run-up to the opening of Operation Spy at the Spy Museum, but in the fleeting moments between disasters and near-disasters, I'm thinking about AAM. It speaks in a distinctive, unapologetic voice--whether that voice reflects a single person or a team. Was it a museum professional or an outsider?
