Meanwhile, tax changes this year raise the limit on annual tax-free gifts to $11,000 a person (for as many people as you want to enrich), up from $10,000. You can leave $1 million free from estate tax, up from $675,000. The top marginal estate-tax rate drops to 50% from...

...some nice wildflowers and, of course, a carillon tower (with an appropriately sized carillon inside). Just think of the Sunday afternoon recitals in May. Such a park would be a benefit to the surrounding community and a boon to Harvard as well.
