Political Paul

Here's an item from Paul back in December from a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee email:



It was one of my life's proudest achievements.



More than the films, more than the awards - finding out that I was on Nixon's Enemies List meant that I was doing something right.



Nixon didn't like my campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy.  But then again, he didn't much care for debate, dissent, or the Constitution either. 



I was proud to stand with Democrats against an imperial president back then.  And I am proud now to stand with a new generation of Democrats against a president who poses what I believe to be the biggest internal threat to American democracy in my lifetime.

Vanity Fair's Hollywood

Excerpt from Vanity Fair's Hollywood (Book): "Most proud of being number 19 on Nixon's enemies list, he is in some other top 20's and probably doesn't pig out on his signature line of philanthropic food stuffs. Durably handsome and blue eyed from The Hustler and Hud through Cool Hand Luke and obviously intending to stay that way thereafter (Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, The Sting). He made a brave transition through nine Academy citations and three awards, from Newman to old (most notably in Absence of Malice, The Verdict, The Color of Money and Nobody's Fool). "
