		Nasher, alluding to the offer of public money for a public space, said, "It would have taken 14 years to get that done." Expressing his eagerness to have the collection open to the public before the year 2000, he said, "The time is now.

	Duke Magazine-The Collector, by Robert J. Bliwise-May/June 2003
		That is, two construction-site circuits: Nasher is the prime patron of museums in progress at Duke, from which he graduated in 1943, and in Dallas, his adopted hometown.
		Nasher, an only child, was born in Boston; his father had escaped the pogroms of Russia, and his mother had immigrated from Germany.
		As Nasher recalls it, Patsy Rabinowitz was the only one at the gathering to predict a Truman victory.) Struck by the postwar exuberance for home ownership, a trend boosted by generous government financing, Nasher got his start as a developer of low-cost housing.

		Raymond Nasher, an economics major from the class of 1943, was on Duke's Board of Trustees from 1968 to 1979.
		Nasher was a real estate developer building his fortune in Dallas--along with an impressive collection of modern paintings and sculpture.
		Architect Rafael Vinoly described the greatest challenge of the Nasher as being that he is designing for "the aspirations for the collection." In other words, he did not design a structure for a museum that exists, but for one that will exist in the future, long after its doors open for the first time.

		RAYMOND NASHER: Well, that's the one thing that we've always thought was the most important area; that it wasn't a question of just having it for ourselves or being selfish about pieces; having wonderful pieces that we could enjoy.
		RAYMOND NASHER: Well, I thought that Patsy and I had talked about it many times during her lifetime, you know, what's the future of all of this going to be -- because we're spending a fortune buying all of these things and we're enjoying them tremendously and getting all these butterflies.

	Las Vegas SUN: Duke's Nasher Museum to Open This Weekend
		There was certainly nothing like the 65,000-square-foot museum designed by architect Rafael Vinoly on campus when Nasher wrote a column for the student newspaper in the 1940s called "Time to Think." In it, he called for more arts and thought it essential that Duke look for a way to bring a museum to campus.
		Like several pieces in the show, "Torso" never left the Nasher home until the exhibit, and was the most difficult to talk Nasher into loaning to the museum, said senior curator Sarah Schroth.
		Nancy, the youngest of Nasher's daughters, worked with her father throughout the process of building the museum at Duke.

		The Nasher architect, Rafael Vinoloy, hails from Argentina, though born in Uruquay.
		Vinoloy is an inside man. The outside of the Nasher is undistinguished, the stone is off color for the surroundings, and the building has not been surrounded by great, expansive plantings which would create a little excitement around the humdrum exterior.
		Nasher’s own collection is on exhibit, and it is nothing to write home about.

		...to say that Nasher is True Neutral...and the scales were tipped toward execution by a shouting mob, and perhaps it was a desperate reaction by someone who had been recently afflicted with the Wailing Death.
		Nasher is a terrible leader imo, and I was disappointed to see him stay in his chair and not lift a finger when Desther's false helmites attacked during the cure ritual.
		And in Chapter 4 Nasher DID hint at granting Aribeth mercy, despite the fact that the damage she did to Neverwinter (justified or not) was on par with the damage done by the Wailing Death, and Aribeth's role in that damage was far more direct then Fenthick's.
