...setting a new attendance record for the museum. At UMass Boston's pre-Commencement dinner this year, Chancellor Penny declared the establishment of the Paul Hayes Tucker Endowed Chair for the Arts, which was facilitated by $1 million donations from members of the Arts on the Point advisory committee, Barbara Lee Fish and Ellen Poss of the Poss-Kapor Family Foundation...

All pieces are temporarily acquired through donations from foundations and individuals, the most prominent of which include Barbara Lee, The Poss-Kapor Foundation, Nancy Tieken, the LEF Foundation and the Reily Foundation.

(Justice Barbara Pariente, almost absurdly, even tried to nail Bush heavy-lifter Michael Carvin on Bush's Texas hand-count law.) At one point, in the middle of his "contest" argument, Carvin had to say whether the current hand counts would proceed beyond a Harris certification. "No" was not the answer this court was looking...
