Harris' looks are unfortunate. Pale and skinny, he is the antithesis of the recruiting-poster image of a Navy officer. His face has a furtive cast to it, his chin is narrow, and when he takes his glasses off, he has a wide-eyed, rabbity look. Harvard-educated Harris, 30, gives the appearance of being a timorous man, one who might well lose control under fire. While he now shows few signs of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of the North Koreans, Harris was hospitalized and confined to a wheelchair following the crew's release...
...first, Dustin comes on all of a heap. His stance is simian, his face an objet trouvé. The hair is from a thatched roof in Cambodia, the nose and chin from a 1948 Chevrolet, the hooded eyes from a stuffed hawk. Even the voice seems assembled, an oboe with postnasal drip. It all appears a shambles?until it begins to work, stunning audiences with articulate force. His current comedy, Jimmy Shine, is a mere vaudeville of the absurd.

Everything about his face - the grey-white shock of hair, shaggy temples, rugged chin, deep smile lines flanking a spreading nose - seems square, safe and reassuring in a 'chaotic world. His manner brings viewers a message that middle-class values and Midwest calm still endure...
...serious, often well-reasoned. Even those who nominate themselves are usually quite sincere. "You have my photograph in your files," wrote a man from Manhattan. "It is that blurred composite picture showing a man trying to keep his ear to the ground, his eye on the future and his chin up." There is always a group of loyal wives, like the woman from Florida who nominated her husband -"on behalf of all husbands and fathers who, though part of the establishment, set an example of honesty, integrity and purposeful endeavor for their sons and daughters to emulate." And chances...
