Plaque Honoring Milken Stolen: The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School said it would replace a plaque honoring indicted junk bond financier Michael Milken that was stolen from its alumni “hall of fame.” The photograph of the 1979 Wharton graduate, who was indicted in March on 98 counts of racketeering and fraud, was reported missing Tuesday. Campus police said they believe that it was stolen during the weekend. Wharton spokeswoman Denise Portner said the school will replace the plaque “as soon as possible.” Wharton advisory board co-chairman George Walker said he thought the plaque was stolen by students. Other alumni honored at Wharton include entrepreneur Donald J. Trump, media magnate Walter Annenberg and Supreme Court Justice William Brennan.
