By no means! I've been in communication with someone who's totally
committed to a _fourth_ candidate.
I have agreed to carefully review the tape for this person. I'll do the
same for Red Jacket. Can you tell me more exactly, which shot is he in?
Also, can anybody tell me: I missed the _New York_ magazine piece
entirely. Is that picture available on the Web anywhere? If not, what
issue was it, so I can see if my local library has it? Anybody?
Jules could go a long way to resolving this by commenting on the
full-size JPEGS I emailed him last night (hint, hint). 'Course, he's got
some other fires to put out now, I'm thinking.

I am an unrepentant Red Cappian all the way. The shot _feels_ right, and
a feature-by-feature comparison (jawline, ear placement, nose shape,
full lower lip) with the three-quarter-angle yearbook shot I placed next
to the Red Cap pic at the site bears me out, I think. The main knock
against him seems to be that he looks too young; I think we get the
_impression_ he's young because of the vigor and bounce in his step. I
don't think that guy's too young to be in his early 60s.
I'm thinking T. Coraghessan Boyle for Drug Czar.
