Congratulations to Geniuses

Tonight, I had the extreme pleasure of attending an event where a non-profit organization I co-founded 35 years ago was awarded a "genius grant" of $1 million by the MacArthur Foundation.

To the three of us who created this NPO so long ago, when we were all poor, young, and hopeful, this outcome is something we never could have imagined.

It's called the Center for Investigative Reporting. Check it out. I hope it lives on many decades into the future, and given the brilliant leaders and staff it now has in place, I'm betting that it will.
