All of Newman's products should continue. IIRC, all profits from the sale of his products were funneled back to his foundations/charities, and I believe one of his daughters is chiefly involved in administering these. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Saturday, 09(IX)/27(XXVII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 2dys 6hrs 48mins ******************************************* Oxymoron: Rather Direct. ******************************************* |

Do you, Corey, have reason to believe otherwise??? Why do you doubt Paul Newman's vast philantropic businesses would discontinue? He was a man who gave back more than he ever received.

Why wouldn't they? It's not like he personally had been mixing up the salad dressings and pouring them into bottles out back in the kitchen. He did base the original "Newmans Own" vinaigrette on the salad dressing recipe he developed in his own kitchen, but at this point, it's just his name on the bottles, nothing more. There's absolutely no reason for the brand to disappear. Newman and his friend author A.E. Hotchner (Papa Hemingway, King Of The Hill, Everyone Comes To Elaine’s) started Newman’s Own as a bit of a lark. For years, the two men had been making salad dressing and giving it away as Christmas gifts when they went caroling in their Connecticut neighbourhood. They decided to try to market the salad dressing, starting out by placing it in local shops, and after getting friends to do taste tests they settled on a single product: an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing. Newman put his picture on the label, apparently as a joke, and then he convinced a friend in the grocery business to get the ball rolling by taking a few thousands cases. Various grocery consultants and marketing experts were all very happy to warn Newman that he could only lose money, and lots of it, with his tiny new business, but Newman’s Own Olive Oil & Vinegar Salad Dressing made a profit its first year out. The company then grew in leaps and bounds, and as Newman food fans know, the single salad dressing was joined by other dressings, spaghetti sauces, salsa and lemonade, among other products. (We recommend the Newman’s Own grape juice.) About 15 years ago, Newman’s daughter Nell helped the company branch out with a new line of organic products that includes organic dog and cat food. |

I love Joanne Woodward's story about going out to a restaurant and having Paul take his salad to the wash room and rinse it so he could apply his own mix. |

Not just sitting in the dugout the whole game (OR season). "Moreso" means she'll be in the game (biz) a lot more than usual. Now when YOU step up to the plate for dinner, that could only mean NO LEFTOVERS! ![]() Best, Best, Andy |

Every country comprising all the "Americas" fly their own flags that distinguishes them as unique and individual nations. For Brazil, we know them as Brazilian. Peru, Peruvians, Argentina, Argentineans. Would a Brazilian say he was from South America without losing a sense of their national pride? A similar example can be drawn with Asia and Asians. It's a general thing when speaking collectively about the Far East countries. But we distinguish them as unique and individual nations. Chinese for China, Japanese for Japan, etc. You wouldn't call a travel agent and book a flight to Tokyo, Asia or Acapulco, Central America, or Montreal, North America would you?! BTW, American is only four syllables, USAians is five syllables (USA-i-an). American is THE convenient short term. Granted USAian is too commonly used and it IS too late to bring it up for further debate but it's not in my vocabulary. Andy American, not North American or USAian |

Right, shortened to America. America is not short for "all the countries in the two contents of South and North America." Just as Mexico is called what it is, people don't go around calling their people UMSians, right?
