Sharon, I don't think they were really "allowed" to call it a "World's Fair," they just did. As far as I know, if the Bureau of International Expositions ever howled about it, it never made the news. But since the headquarters of most of the major news bureaus are in New York City, maybe that's another example of the advantages of "location, location, location. . . ." You can usually get away with just about anything if you have the biggest bull-horn.
