However, while Osama bin Laden’s half-brother Baker bin Laden has donated to the University, neither he nor any University donors have in any way been associated with terrorist acts. The bin Laden family is quite large, with Osama one of 52 children, and the family has condemned the mass murder that Osama appears to have perpetrated. The bin Laden scholarships go to deserving law and design students, and the assumption that a donor with the same name—or family, or appearance—must be a terrorist is a dangerous...
Scrolling through the list of opportunities on the Student Employment Office reveals a range of possible money making gigs—babysitter, office assistant, Widener drone, and now, sperm donor.

He joined the stub of Denise's aorta to Louis Washkansky's, her pulmonary artery to his. Finally, the veins. Assistant surgeons removed the catheters from the implant as Barnard worked.

Barnard stepped back and ordered electrodes placed on each side of the heart and the current (25 watt-seconds) applied. The heart leaped...
...Chicago. No other curator has taken advantage of this opportunity with more panache than Tucker. In 1976, when she arrived at the Houston MFA, it was a museum with fewer photographs than you probably have on your refrigerator. Thanks to her canny shopping and her charms as a donor magnet--plus an endowment that rose from $25 million in 1982 to $448 million last year--it now has a collection of nearly 12,400 images, with deep samplings of masters like Edward Steichen, Andre Kertesz, Robert Frank and Diane Arbus...
