...filled his doorway: "My nerves are fairly proof, Watson, but I must confess to a start when I saw the very man who had been so much in my thoughts standing there on my threshold. His appearance was quite familiar to me. He is extremely tall and thin, his forehead domes out in a white curve, and his two eyes are deeply sunken in his head." Not that enemies have to be great in physical stature; small people often make the very best. It is that they must be huge in the imagination, ubiquitous, ready to don disguises or change...
...sweating profusely. But he told me he had been unwell, with chills in Paris and a high fever since he had arrived in our country. Sadat's complexion was much darker than I had expected, and I noticed immediately a callused spot at the center of his forehead, apparently caused by a lifetime of touching his head to the ground in prayer. He didn't smoke very much, but he always wanted his pipe near by, and was irritated when his aide was slow in delivering...
With his bow tie, manicured beard, debaucher's lips and a forehead that recedes in disapproving furrows almost to the collar line, Paul Bartel looks like the last surviving member of the Preston Sturges Repertory Company.

In 1959 he pulled his glasses onto his forehead, and, in a rare gesture of self-revelation, put himself in the company of the masters who inspired him, entitling the improbable work Self-Portrait with Self-Portraits of Rembrandt, Corot and Degas. Returning to a busy Manhattan street for one of his most recent paintings, he once again plays...
That would be just fine to many men, and not a few women, with more traditional ideas of female beauty. Insists Beverly Sills, the diva who now runs the New York City Opera: "There is a growing strength in women, but it's in the forehead, not the forearm. Men will always be attracted to women with nice soft arms and a fleshy bosom." Playboy magazine's 1982 Playmate of the Year, Shannon Tweed, is about the same height and weight as Mariel Hemingway, but her contours are different ? in the soft lines and curves that her beau, Publisher...
