He was tall and stunningly good looking, a guy who could appear pensive and serious one moment and then, with smoke from an unfiltered cigarette swirling around his face, morph into the hippest looking dude this side of James Dean.

who else could have the press fawning all over some goofy snapshots of a college freshman?
No doubt preparing the ground for the inevitable leak of some Michael Phelps-like bong photos....

Frank Marshall Davis liked his girly man looks.
The camera doesn't lie.
Sounds like somebody stole Monica’s kneepads from the Smithsonian!
I must have been directed to a fraudulent site. The photos I saw there were of an effeminate, multi-racial muslim crack dealer and user. I also recognized the photo of this guy’s wife. I think she was on some TV show about a guy named Fred Sanford. She carried a big purse.
