...talk of how his fellow Peace Prize winner, South African President F.W. de Klerk, has ''disappointed'' him during their long, tortuous negotiations toward a new, free, just South Africa, his sunny demeanor fades. Once started on this subject, he has trouble stopping. His voice rises; the smile becomes a scowl. Blacks have been killing other blacks in gruesome ways and growing numbers back in his country, and Mandela says he knows who is partly to blame: ''There is no doubt that the National Party is involved in violence; we have got very solid evidence.'' Two days after the Nobel ceremony...
...cameras can mean only one thing: New Zealand is midway through an election campaign. That's why, a few hours earlier, Clark put on a hair net and white coat for a tour of a biscuit factory on the city's southern fringe. The net, accompanied by a faint scowl, made Clark seem severe; the hard hat, by comparison, gives her a jolly air.

Over the next four decades he was to become the nation's best-known theologian and political preacher, his Teutonic scowl etched on the face of 20th century American Protestantism...
...play, Duncan, the hospice’s awkward and idealistic young social director, good naturedly enters Mr. Plumb’s room and, upon seeing him, tries to lift his spirits by saying, “Come on, Mr. Plumb, don’t just sit there and scowl. What do you want to do today?” “Die!” responds Plumb without missing a beat. The nursing home is further populated by a host of colorful, if mildly stereotypical, characters. There is Sarah, Mr. Plumb’s flaky and neglected daughter, determined...
