It used to be that the international organization that 'authorizes'
World's Fairs allowed only one major fair a decade. The rules seem to
be looser now and more complicated (there are both elapsed time and
geographical restrictions, like a fouryear interval on the same
continent (that's an approximation of the rules)).  I don't know
if the New Orleans fair is official, though I think it is.  There's also
supposed to be one in Paris in '89, I believe, honoring their
bicentennial.
