Walton Waltzes In

The Wal-Mart heiress wasted no time riding into Nashville on her white horse.

The executive director of Alice Walton's Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has issued a statement:

"We are pleased that Chancellor Lyle's decision has led to a resolution of the legal dispute over the Alfred Stieglitz collection and opened a path to negotiations with Crystal Bridges. As stated in our letter to Attorney General Cooper of August 24, we hope to achieve three goals: keeping the Alfred Stieglitz Collection intact; maintaining it on public display, on an equal time basis at Fisk and Crystal Bridges; and helping Fisk continue to achieve its historic education mission."
