Gore has pledged to hand over his KP “salary” to Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit he chairs. But the gift is more symbolic than material. Gore’s salary—his cut of the 2 percent “management fee” that KP partners get on all investments—is typically a sliver of the total compensation that VCs receive. If Gore’s profit-sharing deal is anything like the firm’s other 23 partners, he’s also in line to collect tens of millions of dollars a year....

In foreign affairs, George Bush is passing a messy hand to Clinton, who can’t easily reshuffle the deck. Nor can Clinton take his chips and walk away.

The league is contract-bound to ensure that out of all revenues, 51 percent goes to the players....

The Muscogee Nation and six other tribes jointly sent a claim to the university under the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, a federal law that mandates any institutions that receive federal funding must give any remains and artifacts buried with those remains back to their tribes.
