Nancy Jo Sales piece in New York magazine does mention that he wears
glasses. Someone should post the first paragraph of the Sales article and
let foax decide for themselves. However, I have heard P. being described
as 'tall and gaunt with a droopy mustache' which favors the first guy, but
the photo in Sales' article gives more credence to the baseball cap guy.
Gosh, this whole thing is just like his books; lots of possibilities and
theories, no definitive answers and I'm at the point of wondering if he is
in ANY of the footage CNN allowed (THEY) showed. At this time I'm split
between the two and am going on a limb saying he's BOTH of them!
