Magna Carta for Sale

I thought it was a pretty cool story on nytimes.com. Check it out here.

For those of you who can't quite match the name to any of your otherwise infinite knowledge of history, the Magna Carta was created by King John in 1215. It was written to appease the barons of England and bound the king as well as his subjects to the rule of law. It is the basis for the U.S. Bill of Rights.
