I almost suspect this so-called “Donald Carswell ’50” of being rather one of Us—the Bad Guys—than one of you.

Now, I'm not in the Burt Reynolds or Sean Connery league, but I did confess to a rogue tuft of chest hair in the spot between the top two buttons of a traditional dress shirt. If I wear a tie, no one knows. If I don't, I look like Teen Wolf. Agustina suggested this could be remedied with a shirt that sat slightly further back...
