Big Russ



Everyone I see looks like someone else
. That's just the way it is for me.

At the National Portrait Gallery the other day, I made the following decisions:
  • Lewis Morris (a Declaration of Independence signatory) looks like Tim Russert.

  • William Beckman (an artist seen above in a self-portrait) looks like John Michael Higgins. For that matter, he looks like David Letterman. However, Marnie thinks he looks more like Robert Redford.

coming from the area of the bronx known as morrisania i have long had some acquaintance with stories of the morris family but mostly with lewis morris' brother gouverneur morris (pronounced gooverneer--at least by my grade school teachers). is there a portrait of gouverneur in the gallery?
