[you think that guy in the photo is 71 years old?
Your opinion ]
I think the stress of dealing with the gradual collapse of the Warsaw Pact and questions of personal political survival would have given the guy many sleepless nights. Mel Gibson is only 63, but he’s looked 70 for a while now. Ceausescu, after months of insomnia, would look like someone at death’s door, i.e. the guy in the picture. Heck, Nick Nolte looked 70 around the 2000 time frame, when he was only 60.
