Paul Newman, state of the art actor, philanthropist, and gentleman fighter for those causes that most advance humankind.
Forty years ago, when embracing presidential candidate George McGovern, Mr. Newman came in as #19 on Richard Nixon's enemies list which he reportedly considers among his greatest accomplishments.
Those who value freedom of expression, and human rights, know that the planet is much saner thanks to his efforts.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Newman, and many, many more.
