# The Endowment

PANEL 1 | The newsroom. An enormous sack of money on the floor, tied with string. A label hangs off it: NO CONDITIONS.

PANEL 2 | Five editors stand around it in a ring, arms folded, at a respectful distance.

PANEL 3 | One of them leans in and reads the back of the label. It says: "(Antarctica, 1947, the moon — but only if you were interested anyway.)"

PANEL 4 | The ring, unchanged. Nobody has moved. Caption: "Vote: three to two. Again."
