Leonard Hirshan RIIP: XXXX

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under January 31:

Leonard Hirshan, 86, American talent agent (William Morris Agency), Merkel cell carcinoma

An addition to the "Leon/Kitty/Katz..." pattern-cluster.  I didn't post about him earlier because other than the Lion in his name, nothing else stood out from his wiki page... although now with the "X/x-factor/Kiss..." pattern-cluster that came after, the following excerpt from William Morris Agency wiki page stands out:

In 1898, William Morris (born Zelman Moses), a German Jewish immigrant to the US, posted a cross-hatch trademark above an office door in New York City – four "X's", representing a W superimposed on an M – and went into business as William Morris, Vaudeville Agent.

The four X's make up more than a W and M merged... XXX does. So it looks like an n and u/v were thrown in... which reminds me of the Mason symbol.
