It was an event which transcended normal politics and entered "world culture". There is a Yiddish expression: "Fuesen with Paul Newman" Which means you're messing with the wrong guy. When your name becomes a verb or a noun or a Yiddish expression you know you've done something. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: bob palmieri <rpalmier@depaul.edu> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 15:09:27 -0500 > To: <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] RIP Paul Newman > > He seemed like a really good guy who played out his admittedly cool > hand very well.
