In today's Dallas Morning News I have a story on the Vogels' "Fifty Works for Fifty States" gift. In the article I explain in some detail what Texas will receive—the list's only recently been made available to press (and to the museums).
Jen Graves in the Stranger has some posts about the gift that Washington (state) received.
