...senior Bush has turned aside invitations to appear at all the highbrow conferences. He has turned down dozens of TV-interview requests. Almost every word he utters has the potential to spark another session of public psychoanalysis about father and son. He does get angry. But his jaw is locked, his faith in his son undiminished...
Fourteen years after his first, failed presidential bid, Gephardt, 61, looks remarkably like the brash young candidate he was then. His hair may be thinner, his jaw a bit thicker, but he still looks perpetually fresh--especially for a candidate many are ready to write off as shopworn.

But features like a short face with a massive brow ridge, a mouth and jaw that protrude less than in most apes, and relatively small canine teeth make it clear that this creature was not a chimpanzee...
