    I have the article in my car. I'll check back in a bit. The story I read about this was in the Post.

    OK, it was the Daily News. The woman who I remember from N.H. and who was quoted is a museum curator in Cornish.

    "All of the Rockefellers I've had the pleasure to meet have been very down-to-earth. You recognize noblesse oblige, and this gentleman did not have it," is the quote she gave about Clark Rockefeller.

    "noblesse oblige"

    I get sick of seeing that term in quotes.

    I think Bubby Brister used to use it when he played for the Steelers.

    Is the blue needed?

    quick threadjack about Daily News ...

    Lupica's column that day started OK then freefell into some bizarre vortex of fail. Does he always just write one-sentence musings on things he thinks about while on the toilet? Can't he limit himself to 25 inches, or does he really need an entire page? Like I said, the first half was OK. I don't read him mostly because his demeanor on The Sports Reporters makes me wanna gouge out my eyeballs. But for any regular readers of his, does he write about one topic then devolve into 15-20 one-sentencers?

    Back to Clark Rockefeller.

    A Connecticut family believes the phony Rockefeller who kidnapped his own daughter and is eyed in the disappearance of a California couple, was the strange German student who lived with them in the early 1980s.

    Steve Savio said he is certain that the man known as Clark Rockefeller stayed with his family in Berlin, Conn., for seven months in 1980-1981
