...support artistic projects, financing his projects have proved to be one of the most challenging aspects of pursuing art at the College. “This stuff is completely different from the other arts at Harvard.

At a much subdued press conference held right after Reid and Pelosi's wrapped up, they unveiled their compromise, which would pull the $25 billion from a fund approved earlier this year to help the auto industry develop more fuel-efficient cars; that notion had actually been pushed by Republicans earlier in the week, but until Thursday, Democrats had contended that the money should instead come from the $700 billion financial-bailout fund.
