Psst - 'Olmsted'.

He has a mustache? Clearly, not to be trusted.

I linked it, under 'Multiples'. Click on 'Andrew in Iraq'.

The mustache makes him look dashing!

According to the article, the moustache is Iraq-specific, intended to look culturally appropriate, rather than a habitual moustache. I have to say that my impression of the Iraqi moustache is a fuller, bushier, more exuberant moustache, but I suppose you go to war with the facial hair you've got.

But I'm glad to hear that we'll be getting blog entries from Iraq; firsthand news from someone who's perspective we've learned to rely on is a wonderful thing.

The mustache makes him look bizarrely like Sidney Freedman.

"Ladies and gentleman, take my advice: pull down your pants, and slide on the ice."

When I met him he was moustache-free. Also, his face was much more grinny.

Grinny? Is that a word? And don't get me started on the whole Sidney Freedman comment.

The mustache is less bushy than the Iraqi's normally are, because the Army has rules about facial hair. And because I don't have all that much facial hair to begin with.

And don't get me started on the whole Sidney Freedman comment.

I like Sidney!

But it's definitely a Freedman mustache, not a Hunnicutt mustache.

I always think of a great photo called "The Man Who Won the Moustache Contest."

I thought it was Helen Levitt, but Google informs me it's Mary Ellen Mark. No matter.

Oops. Sorry. The photograph is here. (I hope).

Well, that didn't get it either. Just go to the eighth paragraph and click on "page 21."

Voila. (I expect.)

Thanks. My copying and pasting skills seemed to have deserted me.
