The relation of the following article with GNU?  It is just that
Richard Stallman has been one of the awardees, in the past.  All
remarkable people, indeed...

Today's Washington Post reports that James F. Flinn [sic], the
computer graphics animator (and all-around great guy) at the
California Institute of Technology has been awarded a MacArthur grant
of $265,000.

If you are not familiar with the MacArthur grants, they are awarded
"out of the blue."  There is no application process; instead, the
organization has a staff which quietly "finds" people they believe are
deserving.  There are no restrictions on what awardees may do with the
money.
