Bellovin <smb () cs columbia edu> To: dave () farber netAccording to the Telegraph, a British news paper, the exhibit on Charles Darwin at the American Museum of Natural History in New York has been unable to attract any corporate sponsors.
"It is a disgrace that large companies should shy away from such an important scientific exhibition," said a trustee of another prominent museum in the city, who was told of the exhibition's funding problem by a trustee of the AMNH. "They tried to find corporate sponsors, but everyone backed off."

Is it that the story couldn't be confirmed? To me it would certainly seem newsworthy.
