On Tuesday, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the giant Chicago philanthropy, is to announce this year's batch of 'exceptionally creative' people who will receive $500,000 over five years. No strings attached, not even a thank-you note required.
The new class of 25 'geniuses,' as they will come to be known, will join a select society of MacArthur fellows, to which only 707 before them have been admitted since 1981."
