...that the new building “shows the growth of this enterprise.” He added that the new space “shows how important African and African American studies is at Harvard.” Alphonse Fletcher, Jr. ’87, a major Harvard donor who also endowed the professorship most recently held by former Harvard faculty member Cornel R.

...donated in memory of Harvard University Security Guard Stephen McCombe, for the purpose of deepening students’ awareness of their local communities.” McCombe, a celebrated union leader, died earlier this year.

...plastic sheets, medical supplies and disaster-survival kits to victims. But U.S. officials say the military can't afford to make an open-ended commitment to the relief effort without hampering antiterrorism operations in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, relief groups trying to raise money for the victims say they are encountering donor fatigue--perhaps caused by the massive private responses to the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Jan Egeland, the U.N.'s top humanitarian-aid official, is calling for worldwide donations of some $272 million. "We are losing the race against the clock in the small villages," he says...
