I could say a lot about Paul Newman. I've been a fan for about as long as I've been aware there are actors. Hell, I even enjoyed The Secret War of Harry Frigg, inarguably not a great movie. But rather than go on and on about this or that movie:
He and Joanne Woodward had their fifty-year wedding anniversary this year. Marriage, any marriage, involves work to keep it healthy. Fifty years and they were still an actively happy couple? That's damn impressive.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised for children's charities by Newman's Own. And they make a damn good Blueberry Pecan Cluster Cereal. Totally addictive. I'm also a fan of their Fig Newmans (groan).
Most of all this: In the early 1970s there were many, many people who hated Richard Nixon and would work to pry him from office. Nixon knew this. Of these folks he focused on a very select group, a mere twenty people he and his aids really regarded as enemies. (The list would eventually burgeon to 30,000 people.) Chuck Colson assembled what is now known as The Nixon Enemies List to try to figure out, in the words of John Dean, "how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies." Paul Newman was number nineteen.
Sir, thank you for your time and efforts.
