	Tale of two Statues
		Actually the idea of exchanging the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado originated in the Roosevelt administration as part of the "Good Neighbor" policy advanced by the FDR administration in the late 30s.
		No connection was made to the fact that three weeks later the Corcovado statue was also shut down for "temporary repairs" because of "cracks" and to apply a resin to resist carbon dioxide and humitity diffusion that were said to be causing a deterioration of the concrete infrastructure and the exterior tiles.
		It was at this time, after the statues had been moved back to their original locations, that the Corcovado statue was turned around 180 degrees, facing the other direction, as seen in the two photos - one from 1965 and the other from 1961.
