There's nothing wrong with the verb "displays" used in this
manner. It's both grammatically correct and has been for
some years (have a look at a good dictionary) and more
importantly (_pace_ our recent discussions), it follows current
usage, which makes it familiar to our audiences. Time to
change your wool dye! <g>
