Museum President Edward Carter, a shrewd retailer (Broadway-Hale Stores) as well as chairman of the University of California's Board of Regents, set out to raise $4,500,000, and through his persuasion wound up with $12 million. At a white-tie extravaganza last week, Comedian Bob Hope called the museum "the most magnificent tax deduction I've ever seen." He had a right to say so: he donated...
