       | Funny how the article claims "the charitable organization faces a
       | tumultuous time with the divorce of its two founders" but yet
       | provides no facts/anecdotes/statements to support that claim.

       | The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMG) is an independently
       | run organization that will survive in spite of a change in
       | relationship status between the two co-founders.

         | you have some sort of connection to "BMG"?
