| Paul Steiger: A REAL Mensch! | Giborah | 28/09/13 12:49 | Paul Steiger is an honor to Judaism and to some of the important Aseret Hadiberot.*
The below story from a 2011 Jewish Journal writes about him briefly. http://www.jewishjournal.com/my_pakistan/item/wsjs_paul_steiger_in_karachi_39110505/ His bio is amazing. http://www.propublica.org/site/author/paul_steiger Inter alia, he was Managing Editor of the Wall Street Journal (which --mirabile dictu -- still writes correct English, and which at least TRIES to keep its antediluvian editorial page separate from its news coverage. Its weekend Review Section covers the arts and literature via leisurely, eminently readable stories.) Now Steiger is giving back via ProPublica, perhaps the most successful investigative entity in American journalism. propublica.org HB * Well, OK, they're all important, but do not lie** is right up there along with Leviticus 19:11 " 'Do not steal. " 'Do not lie. " 'Do not deceive one another." ** lots of arguments -- some point out that Torah DOES condone, or even encourage lying, depending on the situation...go figure.. |
