In the last few years, Eli Broad seems to have overtaken him as our leading practitioner of narcissistic philanthropy (with some stiff competition from the recently deceased Henry Segerstrom, who named two adjacent concert halls after himself, so that they can't be distinguished without a paragraph of explanation).<br /><br />I suppose it's encouraging to see Geffen taking up the challenge: maybe it'll prompt Eli Broad to start another big project, especially since he usually builds something new, rather than buying credit, a la Geffen, for something that already exists. How about the Eli Broad Santa Monica Boulevard Subway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
