...Lee Stetson, who was the dean of admissions at the University of Pennsylvania in 1982 and remains in the position today, said that his university also had to dip into its own budget in order to preserve its aid-blind admissions policy...
Libeskind's $135 million addition to the ROM, called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal after its lead donor, is resolutely unlike anything Toronto - or most cities - has seen before. To begin with, it doesn't look much like the original building, which is actually two buildings: a yellow brick structure from 1912 that was overtaken in 1932 by a weighty limestone addition in a Beaux Arts style with trace elements of the Gothic and Baroque. Libeskind's Crystal bursts from the old museum's limestone in pointed shards of anodized aluminum. It touches the ground with the jagged footprint...
Thorsell admits that when they saw what the interface was going to look like, some regular ROM donors thought "that box" was a little too crazy. "They just couldn't understand us doing this," he says. But others, like Michael Lee-Chin, the billionaire chairman of Portland Holdings, who gave $30 million to put his name on the addition, came through precisely because there was something new on the horizon.

The murders of Chaney and two fellow civil rights workers inspired the movie Mississippi Burning --but led to no state murder indictments until 2005, when Fannie Lee's testimony helped convict and imprison Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen. Following a funeral service at the chapel that memorialized her son, Fannie Lee was buried next to James' grave in Meridian, Miss. She was 84. Since 1964, when Alvin--the deep-diving submarine that...
