I propose that we formally designate Andy as the league historian. 

(Dispensing with a call for a second to this motion.)

All in favor?

A bit of league history.
 
 
 
USML trades are normally are announced via a Notice of Hot Wax Seal, rather than 
simply an announcement of Trade. Buddha will be pleased to learn that this 
tradition started with a franchise named Democrats for Nixon.  The owner of that 
franchise, Alex Liberman, frequently would respond to trade offers by shouting 
Hot wax seal it!, typically giving no more than two seconds worth of thought the 
offer.  
 
 
 
Alex named his franchise in honor of Morrie Liebman.  Morrie was a very senior 
partner at Sidley who was particularly kind to young, stressed-out litigation 
associates.  (In addition to buying us lunch on occassion, he routinely gave us 
his 50 yard line seats at Soldier Field!)  In perusing his lengthy resume one 
day, Alex saw that Morrie served as national chair for an organization called 
Democrats for Nixon in 1968. Upon learning this, Alex immediately dumped his 
franchise name of Old Style Light and re-named his team Democrats for Nixon.
