"For the first time, I think [George H.W.] Bush looks like he's in over his head. You know, any effective leader has got to be a son of a bitch. [Dwight D.] Eisenhower was as cold as ice. He had to be to do the damn job. And [Lyndon B.] Johnson? Forget it. You have to instill the fear of God in your people in order to get results. This is Bush's problem. He's nice; everyone likes him. But no one fears him."
-- Former President Richard Nixon, on President George H.W. Bush, to his aide Monica Crowley, November 22, 1991

My artist friend produced another gorgeous piece that they didn't want tied to their own account, this time of Richard Nixon. This is the same fellow who did the bongfield image.

i learned that when Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, hospital staff cut away his clothing. Finding a laminated card in his suit pocket, they discarded it into his shoe on the floor where it was left unattended. That card was the list of nuclear launch codes (x)

"I then began to ask them if they knew what he drank, what brand of whiskey he used, telling them seriously that I wished they could find out...for if it made fighting generals like Grant, I should like to get some of it for distribution."
-- President Abraham Lincoln, on what he told a group of Congressmen who tried to warn Lincoln about rumors that Ulysses S. Grant drank too much alcohol

John Adams' Life Mask De-aged.
Witness the authentic visage of John Adams, preserved in his life mask, alongside a de-aged version that envisions how he might have appeared in as a young man. The life mask vividly portrays the impact of aging, revealing the ninety-year-old Adams without teeth, as he chose not to wear dentures.
Although the original life mask provides a exact likeness of Adams' facial features, the de-aged portrait may not perfectly capture his appearance during his younger years.
See more life mask reconstructions of historical figures at yarbs.net.
