Smithsonian Secretary G. Wayne Clough, the point man in the controversy that has rocked the Smithsonian Institution for the past two months, received enthusiastic support from his board. At Monday's meeting of the Board of Regents, the Smithsonian's governing board, the regents reviewed the actions surrounding Clough's decision to remove a controversial video from an exhibit and said his broader accomplishments in running the 19 museums and research complex outweighed the uproar over the episode.
