...high proportion of today’s ultra-rich, the answer to that question is one’s alma mater, along with cultural institutions like museums, symphonies, or operas. It’s not hard to see why—in addition to altruistic motives, the rich reap benefits from giving to these types of organizations. For instance, the benefits of being a major donor to a university run the gamut from increasing the admissions odds of one’s grandchildren to getting a building named after oneself.

In other words, we’re all stuck in a sinking ship. When the Committee on General Education—which, among other things, has been given the power to determine how to transition to the new system—meets...
...play them with [Western] electric instruments." He describes the music as a patchwork, similar to the hodge-podge clothing worn by members of his Baye Fall religion, a Sufi branch of Islam which subsitutes Koranic studies and piety for hard labor. The group's motto dieuf dieul ("you reap what you sow") impels followers to show their devotion to god through work; in Kane's case, through his music...
