(better formating)Thanks for this very interesting discussion. Unfortunately, the connection
between Nussenzweig's suit and his religion was omitted, perhaps puttingMr. Nussenzweig in an unfair light. Here is the AP explanation (reproduced
on WordWide Religious News) http://www.wwrn.org/article.php?idd=20434&sec=35&con=4>:Goldberg said his client's religion forbids, and he has a deep conviction against, reproducing his image by photography or other means because of the belief in the Second Commandment's prohibition against graven images.
"It puts him in a disgraceful light within his community,' Goldberg said.
"It violates the tenets of the particular religious sect to which he belongs. He shouldn't be put in a position where people might think he sold out for a few bucks."There may be some significance to the fact that the objectionable photo was
not of a scene nor a crowd, but of the subjects head the photo of Emo Nussenzweig -- a head shot showing him sporting a scraggly white beard, a black hat and a black coat -- ...thephotographer took...surreptitiously near Times Square in 2001 and then
sold 10 prints of it at $20,000 to $30,000 each....The displayed photo of the 80-year-old Nussenzweig was about 3 feet
by 4 feet. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/ ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
