MacArthur Foundation Appoints New President

After the first Gulf War, he was part of the United Nations Special Commission charged with uncovering chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs in Iraq.

In an interview, Mr. Gallucci said he was attracted to the foundation job because of the wide-range of causes MacArthur supports. While best know for its “genius” awards, MacArthur makes grants in 60 countries to improve human rights, the arts, the environment, and other areas. The foundation has $5-billion in assets.
