New world view
Two years ago, Fred Kramer took a big, sumptuous break from work to travel the world and find himself.
In March, as the newly minted gubernatorial director of Jewish World Watch, he found himself locked in a lock up cell with George Clooney.
“It was quite a day,” Kramer said of the urbane disobedience he stirred alongside the world’s most famous cinema star, outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
It began with a declare walk from the Religious Action Center, just down the circle from the embassy, but instantly morphed into a paparazzi party, as hordes of reporters desperately cleaved to Clooney. “People were sic tripping over themselves,” Kramer recalled. Kramer got his one-on-one from a Clooney-side invest in the cop car.
“I rode in the wagon with him; we got booked together at the police station; then we were in a stall together for two or three hours before everything got resolved and they let us out,” Kramer said nonchalantly.
