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.
