  Paul Lévy
Paul Lévy is one of the greatest mathematicians of our century and can be considered, with A N Kolmogorov, to be the forefather of the modern theory of stochastic processes.
His grandfather was a professor of mathematics and Paul's father, Lucien Lévy, was an examiner at the Ecole Polytechnique and wrote papers on geometry.
Paul Lévy was an extraordinarily productive mathematician: in parallel with and independently from the Soviet mathematicians Kolmogorov and Khinchin, he discovered the major part of what is known today as the theory of stochastic processes.

 Pornified and Female Chauvinist Pigs - What caused the sexualization of our culture? Laura Kipnis, Meghan O'Rourke, and ...
Paul presents a parade of dismal male porn addicts who can't relate to real women; Levy focuses on young women who've decided (wrongly, she thinks) that porn and its motifs can be empowering for gals.
Paul began with the assumption that pornography was not a big deal, but after interviewing 100 men and women from a range of backgrounds, talking to dozens of sex therapists and psychotherapists, studying piles of sex studies and advice columns, she realized she had underestimated porn's influence.
Levy pinpoints something important when she shows that many young women are mistaking sexual display for emancipated "empowerment." But what's curiously absent from both books is a view of female sexuality as something rapacious in its own right.

 NewsHour Online: Economy Focus
PAUL SOLMAN: For quite a few years now, the American economy has been growing at a healthy 4.2 percent annual growth in the most recent quarter, yet conventional wisdom has it that Americans are very nervous about their economic present and even more so about their future.
Levy's worry is that the new technological growth is creating a widening income gap between those with education and those without it.
PAUL SOLMAN: Thus, the sobering view of the U.S. economy in which growth favors the few and the rest are left to fend for themselves.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Review: The Letters of Lytton Strachey edited by Paul Levy
If Lytton Strachey had been born in 1980 instead of 1880, he would have been constantly on his mobile phone: "I'm on the train." As it was, he wrote paragraphs of his long letters on trains, en route for Cambridge or, later, to stay with Lady Ottoline Morrell, with Lady Cunard, with the Asquiths.
He belonged to the semi-secret society known as the Apostles, where he fell under the spell of GE Moore (about whom Levy has written a good book), a shy, charismatic philosophy don, who persuaded his acolytes that the important things in life were telling the truth, personal relationships, and the contemplation of beauty.
As Paul Levy says, his sex-life may startle even those who think of themselves as unshockable.

Unlikely as it sounds, that’s what happened when Professor David Garvin asked Paul Levy, CEO of Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, if he would serve as the subject for a multimedia case study currently taught in the MBA Program’s General Management elective and in the AMP Executive Education program.
The fact that the case is limited to Levy’s point of view is its greatest strength and its greatest weakness, Garvin remarks.
As for Levy, his turnaround of the medical center was complete as of this year.

One version has already passed the House, and a related version is, I am told, under very active consideration in the Senate.
So, whatever Congress does with the remainder of section 43(c) of the Lanham Act, it ought to leave the text of section 43(c)(4) alone, leaving it applicable to "this section" and leaving the existing protection for "non-commercial use" intact.
