...figure and a man on a park bench who are both shot through the chest, to a police car flipping over after a grenade is lobbed into it, to a Klansman and his pointy hood scalped by another shot, and finally to the marksman stuffing the muzzle of a pistol into his mouth, squeezing the trigger and turning the screen crimson. The credits roll, and Weise signs off under the name "Regret...

Perry acts the part himself—in drag—with such reckless abandon he makes Robin Williams’ Mrs. Doubtfire appear a model of subtlety and restraint.

Piven's highly inventive collage portraits are matched with amusingly quirky tidbits about the Presidents (the pugnacious Jackson's penchant for dueling, the busy Roosevelt's bustling energy). Most of the jokes are benign--George W. Bush, a former baseball-team owner, has a hot-dog nose and buns for eyebrows--but Piven also meets darker facts head on: Richard Nixon's face is formed with a tape recorder, and his prominent nose...
