Reply #3: Here's how I know Frohnmayer & why his name may be familiar to you:

Frohnmayer earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University, a master's degree in Christian ethics from the University of Chicago, and a law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1972.<1> He was a decorated officer in the United States Navy, in which he served from 1966-1969.

President George H.W. Bush appointed Frohnmayer, who lacked both administrative experience and artistic credentials, to chair the National Endowment for the Arts in 1989. The NEA was in the midst of controversies surrounding its funding of projects such as Piss Christ and the homoerotic art of Robert Mapplethorpe.

As NEA Chair, Frohnmayer was attacked by artists on the grounds of his tepid support for freedom of expression, by liberals on the grounds of his "loyalty oath" and refusal to support artistic independence, by conservatives (and Pat Buchanan in particular), on the basis of his willingness to spend public money for what many taxpayers saw as profane and sacreligious art, and by NEA board members for general incompetence. President Bush asked Frohnmayer to resign in 1992.

Frohnmayer published two books in the 1990s: Leaving Town Alive, an account of his experience at the NEA, and Out of Tune: Listening to the First Amendment, a text for high school and college courses.
