Dylan and company soldiered through more standards and new tunes, pausing only once to allow the leader to introduce his band. In fact, Dylan rarely even altered his facial expression, basically maintaining a deadpan scowl for the duration of the performance. Even his cues to the band were minimal, with only a stiff nod to the drummer signifying the end of a tune...

When asked about his piloting of the airline, he gets a scowl on his face and pulls out two yellow, legal-size pages of scrunched-up notes to defend his record there from 1989 to 1993. Critics charge that he took the once profitable carrier, burdened by debt from the LBO, to the brink of bankruptcy. Checchi used his charisma to extract some $800 million in union concessions and an additional $837 million in state and local bonds, subsidies...

...part will feel like something of a sequel to the 6-ft. 6-in. Tennessean, whose face seems permanently fixed in a leaden-browed scowl. He got his first test before the lights and cameras during the Senate Watergate Committee hearings. As the panel's 30-year-old Republican counsel, Thompson put aside party loyalty to ask ex-Nixon aide Alexander Butterfield the question that revealed the existence of a taping system in the White House. Says Thompson's mentor, Howard Baker, who was the Watergate Committee's top Republican: "He's a man of deep conviction and great steadiness...
