...Lincoln presenter--there are fat ones and short ones and white-haired ones--but of course it helps. In what must have been a dispiriting compliment, many of the A.L.P. Lincolns were told from a young age that they resembled the ungainly President. Some had already grown the distinctive beard--typically out of a deeply misguided sense of fashion, although at the 11th annual A.L.P. convention in April, I did meet one Robert Rotgers, 69, who grew his beard in the mid-'60s "for theological reasons"--he was an Anabaptist seminarian at the time...
...Fortuitously, in 1997 a presenter from Ohio--Ralph Borror, who runs abraham-lincoln.net--did a Lincoln event at a mall near Rubin's house. Rubin, who has Lincoln's protuberant nose, his scraggly eyebrows, his height (Rubin is 6 ft. 3 in.; Lincoln was 6 ft. 4 in.) and his beard--grown years ago--was surprised, and a bit envious, that someone over at the mall would pay a man to come down from Ohio to do Lincoln.

Still, any academic hack can redo a prototype; Saint-Gaudens' peculiar gift was to shadow these massive and well-known shapes with the tiny subliminal events of a dreaming hand. In 1880 he could give Dr. Henry Shiff's bronze beard a labile, gratuitous beauty of texture akin to Monet; while, seen close up, the stubbled, worn face of Sherman is not a military mask but a psychological study as deep, in its way, as Rodin's Balzac. There are weak things in this show, and not a few florid ones...
...kiss from the movies. It is difficult to imagine what people did before Edison for instruction in the subject. They blundered through, no doubt, across centuries of bruised lips and chipped teeth, and the clumsy lunges that end with noses banging, or the woman accidentally mummphing a mouthful of beard...
