I Guess They Just Blew His Cover

No, that's not the case. But do you know what?  I had never heard of Chuck Feeny or Atlantic Philanthropies.

A fortune made off of duty-free liquor and tobacco sounds like the devil worshipper type, but it's cool.  I like this: "He once met the prime minister of Ireland with his drugstore glasses held together by a paper clip." 

What else?  "Feeney's practical reason for not plastering his moniker on buildings is to attract matching donors who would want naming rights -- as was the case at Stanford with high-tech tycoon Jim Clark and at a UC San Francisco cancer facility with venture capitalist Arthur Rock."   

 I remember Jim Clark. That was very interesting.  So are you. Beyotch.
