IN THE NEWS

Broad Looms Large Over Los Angeles Arts Scene. Since moving to Los Angeles
four decades ago, billionaire philanthropist and businessman Eli Broad has
used his results-focused management style to transform the city's arts and
cultural landscape, reports the New York Times. Broad and his $2.5 billion
foundation have given hundreds of millions of dollars to support the arts,
including $30M to help rescue the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008. Broad
also oversaw fundraising for the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Walt Disney
Concert Hall. Full Article: Steinhauer, Jennifer. "Wielding Iron
