Bailey reports that Italian collector Carlo BILOTTI offered to pay for a stronger replica to be carved for the park, in return for the blocks of the original, which he would have erected on pubic view in Florida or Italy. Explains that this idea was "vetoed" by The Henry Moore Foundation. Suggests sculpture could be restored by 2012. Includes brief quote from Richard Calvocoressi. Brief notice on opposite page announces Anne Wagner's appointment as Henry Moore Foundation Research Curator at Tate.
