I meant the moral dilemma of evaluating great art created for an immoral
purpose.  Another similar problem is the blood thinner drug coumadin,
which this week saved the life of one of my dearest friends, but was
developed as a chemical warfare agent.  Coumadin is its trade name - its
chemical name is warfarin.  Useful compound discovered during immoral
research.
