A Jewish sumo wrestler is very cool, and so is the bit about the crows. For me, though, today, the coolest thing I've learned is that the great Anthony Lewis, New York Times columnist extraordinaire for a very long time, was part of the tribe. He died yesterday and had been more or less quiet for the last decade or more, but he inspired me and a lot of my college friends to think about how words and arguments can make the world a better place.
