METALLICA: (Singing) Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings.</s>RACHEL MARTIN, HOST: Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin with a fact you probably didn't know.

Ethics officials said the gift belonged to the state. So to avoid any conflict of interest, the Indonesian president has paid about $800 to keep the albums for himself. It's MORNING EDITION.
