Man, how come there has not been a movie about this guy? He played major league baseball, earned a law degree, traveled the world (occasionaly acting as a US spy!) What’s more…
It was in Paris that he developed a habit he would keep for the rest of his life: reading multiple newspapers, as many as 10 a day. Until Berg finished reading a paper, he considered it “alive” and refused to let anyone else touch it. When he was finished with it, he would consider the paper “dead” and anybody could read it.
Speaking of interesting movies, I’m looking forward to seeing what Richard Linklater’s cooking up next. =)
