It’s just before 8:00 AM on the east cost, and apparently his appearance before a judge has just ended. None of the news outlets on line have a picture yet. Wondering if any foreign outlets have one? I googled BBC, but they still have his post shave capture photo.

Just curious.

Thanks. I guess I was just a little impatient. I saw a few on Yahoo. I didn’t expect him to look as well as he did. I was imagining a lot thinner and greyer.

If a mod wanders by and has his or her keys with them, can you close this thread? Thanks.

OK, I’ll close the thread. I don’t think it belongs in Cafe Society forum anyway, but I’m not sure where to put it. Great Debates seems the most likely, since it would probably evolve to a political discussion soon enough. MPSIMS seems equally likely.

So, since **Casey** has asked this be closed, I’ll comply and spare myself the headache of figuring out where it best belongs.
