His screen personality could be seen as surly or resentful - in the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry or Toshiro Mifune Yojimbo mode - if he displayed anything as human as an attitude.

He suggested that if a depressed person can't frown because of Botox treatment, then others won't frown back at them, thereby...

About 100 students and staff have been affected by this virus, which Harvard University Health Services Director David S. Rosenthal '59 says is usually spread through hand-to-mouth contact.
