Andrew Klavan wrote a very sweet piece in City Journal about my writing, then and now. The National Post of Canada chose to reprint it, and in the hard copy adorned the piece with an embarrassing before-and-after headshot of me, the pundit's equivalent of one those bad celebrity implants features that turn up everywhere. One of Canada's leading Jewish bloggettes reprinted the ancient picture and asserted that my hair was "quite the Jewfro", which I thought was rather flattering until she compared it to Anthony Weiner's. When your body parts start being compared to Congressman Tweeter, let's hope it doesn't all spiral out of control.
(For the record, I follow the old Fleet Street rule that any columnar byline photo should be at least 20 years out of date. The one that accompanies my NRO weekend column, for example, is of me in 1978.)
