=> A Westport, Connecticut obituary, with the focus on his local life.
=> ESPN has the dope on his racing career.
=> A lengthy appreciation by Oregonian film critic Shawn Levy, who has been working on a Newman biography. Levy includes his list of Newman’s 13 best films.
=> The BBC has an all-too-short collection of Newman movie clips. And a nice little remembrance from his Welsh in-laws.

=> The remarkable history of Newman’s Own, Inc., the “joke that got out of control.”
