- A GREAT ACTOR.
- A GREAT HUMANITARIAN.
- AND A DECENT LEFTIE.
- NEWMAN SUPPORTED - AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS - A WHOLE SLEW OF LEFT-WING CAUSES.
- BUT NEVER WITH THE ASININE RANCOR OF SEAN PENN AND TIM ROBBINS AND THE LIKE.
DECADES AGO I TENDED BAR - AS A VOLUNTEER - AT A FUNDRAISER FOR RAMSEY CLARK (YES, REALLY - I TOLD YOU WAS A LEFTIE ONCE!.- NEWMAN WAS A GUEST OF HONOR.
- AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN. UNASSUMING, GLAD TO HELP. WARM.
- I WAS STRUCK BY HOW HE WAS SMALL IN PHYSICAL STATURE.
- IT'S AMAZING HOW LARGE A PERSONA HE WAS ABLE TO PROJECT ON THE SCREEN.
- THAT'S TALENT.
- A TALENT WHICH IS VERY SHORT SUPPLY IN HOLLYWOOD.

Again we agree.
Paul used his celebrity status to create a huge food corporation that has generated over $250 million for charity.
Not exactly the typical "Leftie" way of doing things, but not exactly the "Rightie" way either.
He was a model citizen.
