White House officials say WhoDB is little more than a catalog of presidential supporters and visitors. But as a Rolodex, it is one with attitude. Many of the system's 355,000 names were culled from Democratic National Committee donor lists, and they were obviously entered with follow-up in mind. Have a pet project or nickname? WhoDB knows it, along with birthdays and fax numbers. Even special dietary needs were logged in to cater to donors at future events.

But the ultimate compensation -- justice -- eludes them still. A court has acquitted the two men charged in the shooting death, agreeing with the defense's argument that a recorded conversation allegedly identifying Francesco Mesiano and Michele Iannello as the murderers was too chock full of regional dialect to serve...
...GONDA (GOLDSCHMIED) The donor's full name is being kept private, but he gave $45 million to UCLA to create the Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscience and Genetics Research Center. This is the largest charitable gift from an individual in University of California history.
