Two years ago, he made history with the largest donation of artworks by a private collector to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles: 123 works by 78 artists.He can't credit his interest in art directly to Duke.

Lend Me Your Ears: Unbelievable
Patrick Lowry and the Hays Daily News should be ashamed of themselves. The day after the tragic slaying of 33 people by a mad gunman at Virginia Tech, Mr. Lowry decided to use the tragedy and the editorial page of the Hays Daily to spout blatantly political anti-Iraq War hatred. I am astounded by his use of the misfortune of others and a time of great emotional response across the nation to espouse hate America first rhetoric. The problem, he asserts, is a culture of violence. But rather than discuss the cultural influences of, and the desensitization to violence caused by, repeated viewings of violent video games and movies, explicit song lyrics, etc. (a legitimate exploration of the causes of a culture of violence) he decides to brush all that aside in one paragraph for the sake of “deeper reflection." His diatribe begins by insisting that the axis of evil does not consist of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea; but of an “increasing reliance on the death penalty, an overabundance of weaponry available to the general public, and our willingness to invade foreign countries without provocation.

NYU's king of pop culture trivia
As he sung the Goo Goo Dolls' "Name" into the microphone, Andrew Unterberger's khaki pants and light blue T-shirt glowed in the black light of a pink-walled private room in Koreatown's Toto Karaoke. His shaggy, curly brown hair moved with him as he moved with the music, belting out the lyrics.
His friend teased him for his enthusiasm. "This is my soul talking, thank you very much," Unterberger retorted.
Unterberger, a CAS junior majoring in journalism and English, knows where most of the songs played that night landed on the music charts, and when.
"The success of this song has nothing to do with Shaggy's involvement in it," he said as he and his friends prepared to sing "It Wasn't Me." Since his childhood in Pennsylvania, Unterberger has been memorizing pop culture trivia, making lists, and spending long hours watching TV and movies, according to his mother, Alyse Unterberger.
