I first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill，the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film---it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that；they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference，we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft（技藝）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.

Dear Sir or Madame，
I am a middle school student.I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and disappointments about the unpleasant experience.
The reason of my dissatisfaction is about the quality of the books that I order on the Internet the other day.They are bestsellers by my favorite author.Unfortunate，when they arrived，quite a few pages were found missing and badly damaged，greatly affect my understanding of the books.In addition，the price is higher than it in our local bookstores.Under these circumstances，I wanted to exchange them for new ones or declare the refund.However，I haven't been received any reply up till now.I wonder that it is possible for you to suggest a solution.
I would appreciate if you could take my opinion into consideration.
Yours sincerely，
