Its a craft to be a TAFT... As a child "His eyes, chin, ears match up and serious focused expression was already present as a young boy." LOLZ, whoever said that needs a serious eye check...  While studying at YALE...  
Conclusion: the only real WILLIAM TAFT is the child... |

While the hairline may change as one ages, the shape of the forehead whether it rounds, or is flatter, would remain the same. I noticed this on the Peter O Toole thread as well. Something you may not notice on a straight on image, but a 3/4 shot or a profile you can notice. Interesting. |

I was off last Saturday, for a change, and I had been watching a series of documentaries on the History channel regarding presidents...and I noticed that pictures show different Abe Lincolns....and I was wondering if anyone had ever researched that one??
It's difficult to consider George Washington, because there are only portraits painted of him, but even those paintings show different features. I know that artists have different perspectives, but an artist that would be commissioned to paint a president, you would think could be accruately portraying the image...or was that affected as well?

Yes, I noticed this too while researching Taft. It seems as though this goes back a lot further than we thought! If I get the chance, I will post some Lincoln comps. And if anyone else wants to.... |

"Fidel Castro Reportedly Suffers Stroke ... Close to Death
Fidel Castro has reportedly suffered an embolic stroke ... and his health is so bad, the 86-year-old former leader of Cuba can barely eat, speak or recognize people.
The news is being reported by El Nuevo Herald, which says it spoke with Jose Marquina -- "a respected doctor" who assured the paper he has firsthand sources and information about Castro.
The doctor told the Herald, "[Castro] could last weeks like that, but what I can say is that we’ll never again see him in public.â€
The last time Castro was seen out in public was back in March -- when Pope Benedict XVI visited Cuba."

Fidel's swansong: Eighty-nine-year-old Castro predicts he will die 'soon' and urges his comrades to fight on for Communism as his hardline allies keep control of Cuba Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech Tuesday to the Communist Party that he put in power a half-century ago, telling party members he will soon die and exhorting them to help his ideas survive. 'I'll be 90 years old soon,' Castro said in his most extensive public appearance in years, adding: 'Soon I'll be like all the others.' He went on: 'The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain as proof on this planet that if they are worked at with fervor and dignity, they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need, and we need to fight without a truce to obtain them.' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3548080/State-media-Fidel-Castro-attends-Cuban-Communist-congress.html |

and now allegedly dies: Cuba's Fidel Castro, who defied US for 50 years, dies at 90 "HAVANA (AP) — Former President Fidel Castro, who led a rebel army to improbable victory in Cuba, embraced Soviet-style communism and defied the power of 10 U.S. presidents during his half century rule, has died at age 90. With a shaking voice, President Raul Castro said on state television that his older brother died at 10:29 p.m. Friday. He ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan: "Toward victory, always!" Castro's reign over the island-nation 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Florida was marked by the U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. The bearded revolutionary, who survived a crippling U.S. trade embargo as well as dozens, possibly hundreds, of assassination plots, died 10 years after ill health forced him to hand power over to Raul. apnews.com/5ef60f67cefb46869c5b6e5814588dec/Cuba |

"Nelson Mandela (terrorist) was widely believed to have died in June 2013 - Obama even did a eulogy on a trip to Senegal - but it was only announced in December, conveniently as citizens' anger was boiling over the "e-toll" system and yet more ANC corruption. For months we were told Mandela was "critical but stable" and to this day it's a local joke, to call something that's obviously broken or dead "critical but stable".
