In light of the MacArthur 
Foundation's generosity


                                                                                  Andu Saduko/ Ron+E

some Chicago organizations
have a greater "take away"
than others.

Additional insight about giving
from NYT columnist David Brooks.

Original Title: Startling Adult Friendships, OP-ED 09.19.2014.

"Somebody asked me what I would do if I had $500 million to give away."

"People seem to have a harder time building friendships across class lines.
As society becomes more unequal and segmented, invitations come to people
on the basis of their job status. Middle-aged people have particular problems 
nurturing friendships and building new ones. They are so busy with work and 
kids that friendships are squeezed out."

"So in the fantasy world in which I have $500 million, I'd try to set up places 
that would cultivate friendships."

Patricia Wall/ The New York Times
So a couple of fellows participate
in a really serious job interview.

I have this advice for them:
a. Make appropriate eye contact
b. Use your inside voice
c. Do your home work
d. Do not be a jerk to fellow candidates
e. Have a "plan b" career in mind if you
    fail to follow any of the above tips.

Unfortunately one of the job candidates 
will get or keep the posted position.
