Short Takes : Newman Aids Ms. College Plan
From Times Wire Services
NEW YORK —
Paul Newman is donating $10,000 from his Newman’s Own line of food products to help keep a Ms. magazine educational program cooking.
The program, “Ms.: the World of Women,” provides copies of the magazine for use in women’s, sociology and psychology classes at about 2,000 U.S. colleges.
The magazine initially provided the copies free. After Ms. ran into financial troubles last year, people such as Newman began underwriting the program, publisher Ruth Bower said.
Newman’s company donates its earnings from such products as salad dressing to charity.
