I was quite taken aback last week. I was in a doctor's waiting room and picked up a copy of an April 26 Newsweek. I was arrested by a double spread of a cabinet meeting of the Precedent's. Lining the sides of the long table were a number of men of whom at least four looked presidential- serious, intelligent, focused faces. At the other end of the table is this caricature of a face: smirking, disengaged, lightweight... It was classic Alfred E. And it was an actual photograph.

In his defense I decided that perhaps he loses his 'poise' when the camera is on him? I dunno, but oh, was it revealing.
