Reminds me of another story . . .
Do you know that famous photograph of that famous cigar smoker, Winston Churchill? The
one with NO cigar, in which he seems to be glaring into the camera, his hands perched
on the chair's arms while he looks almost as if he's almost about to raise himseld
from a sitting position? Legend has it that Karsh, the photographer, grabbed his cigar
away just before snapping the photo.
