Give.
BRAVO!: Private donations through Amazon have exceeded the official pledged donation of the French government — by tenfold. [Correction: it appears the ratio is reversed, the initial French figure being incorrect. Even so, Amazon donations have just passed $2 million. Earlier this morning, the average individual donation was fifty-three dollars. Three cheers for the private philanthropist.]
THAT 'BRAVO' WAS WELL DESERVED: Accepting the French figure of $20 million, private donations though Amazon alone are nearing one-half of that amount, $9 million as of mid-afternoon Friday, December 31st.
