[MD] Oscar and Nobel

[Peter Corteen]

I read that the only other person to receive both an Oscar and a Nobel prize
was George Bernard Shaw.

I don't know whether Shaw ever met John Dewey but I do know that, as adults
and over many years, they both shared the same teacher, Frederick Mathias
Alexander.

Yes, Alexander was their teacher; he taught, them in the most pragmatic and
experiential manner possible, that the self and the individual are one and
showed them the immediate practical advantages for the individual of being
in the moment.

Apologies for this diversion but Al Gore unintentionally inspired me to
bring F. M. Alexander to the attention of other MOQers.
