From the Lannan Foundation website:
Quote:The Foundation recognizes the profound and often unquantifiable value of the creative process and is willing to take risks and make substantial investments in ambitious and experimental thinking. Understanding that globalization threatens all cultures and ecosystems, the Foundation is particularly interested in projects that encourage freedom of inquiry, imagination, and expression.

Does sort of put the pie/egg/shit in their face. I still think there are two possible explanations. One, that they are are "displaying a total lack of moral integrity" or they got a call from the IRS or some other three letter agency and told 'pull it...or else...!'...and the or else got them by the gonads [i.e. their money] :kraka: and they got scared and pulled it. In either case, they lack moral integrity....it is only if they did so totally of their own making, or in bowing to the pressures on them - if it matters - I think not.
