Quote of the Week: One institution that didn't benefit from Jack Abramoff's largesse was his alma mater Brandeis University, which received a grand total of $5o from the disgraced lobbyist, back in 2002. According to Nancy Winship, "The [donation] wasn't used for anything problematic, and we have no relationship with him. The $50 was not given to us to pressure us to do anything." Some of Winship's other quotes are pretty pithy too.
