...thoughts briefly wandered to ManRay, a gender-bending nightclub in Central Square--only a short walk from Lewis's office in University Hall. There, dress-up parades happen every Friday night. Style-maven Lewis probably doesn't realize it but the club offers a discount at the door for wearing "pleather, latex, pvc, drag, extreme fetish attire or eerie erotic wear." Dr. Know suspects that if the dean's regalia doesn't pass for eerie erotic it will definitely fall under drag. The club is located at 21 Brookline...

The discount applies because heirs who receive the house don't get to use it for 10 years...
FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP This lets you give away assets at a discount, making your annual gifts or lifetime exclusion go further. A typical example would have you place shares of a family-owned business in the partnership and then give away shares of the partnership. But flps can hold any asset, including publicly traded shares. Just retain full control of the partnership with sole discretion over when to sell any assets held by the partnership.
