Claremont prof in Nazi art controversy

Speaking of news happening: Elise Viebeck, editor extraordinaire of the Claremont Independent, has just broken what looks to be a pretty major story about CMC history professor Jonathan Petropoulos and shady dealings in the world of Nazi-looted art restitution. We'll see how this unfolds.

Oh my! I really like Professor Petropoulos and I'm relieved to see that he was cleared of wrongdoing. I know how much time and hard work he put into that case so don't blame him for wanting compensation, though it's of course unfortunate that ugly battles over money so often cast a shadow over the art in question.
