Our Town:
No There There?

Paul Newman, scheduled for his last performance in "Our Town" today, said in 1961:

"With that fifteen hundred, I could have beat him. That's all I needed Charlie…You'd love to keep me hustlin' for ya, huh, wouldn't ya? I mean, a couple more years with me scufflin' around, in them little towns and those back alleys, you might make yourself enough to get a little pool room back in Oakland – six tables and a handbook on the side…Lay down and die by yourself."

— Fast Eddie Felson in "The Hustler"

The Raiders take on the Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII this afternoon.

Gertrude Stein on Oakland, California:

"There is no there there."

Well, maybe a little pool room….
