The reason for the decision the Justice Department made to drop the lease has not been made clear, but USC will suffer an annual loss of $5.3 million in revenue as a result. “We’ll turn it into a win for USC,” Ed Walton, USC’s chief operating offi cer, told The State. The lease was supposed to accumulate $106 million for the university and bring over 250 “high paying” jobs to Columbia. The Executive Offi ce for United States Attorneys was supposed to move from Washington D.C. to USC’s Close-Hipp building by 2017, but the lease would not start until $25 million was spent on upgrades.

The young German fan seems to be very interested in sealing the deal with Cohen, who suggests having breakfast some time. Though being aloof is one way to land the girl, I half expected the elderly Cohen to pull a Doc Brown, grab his younger self, and impart some more devastating moves to him. That's probably not something to look for in a documentary, though.
