The Politician as Limited Actor and The Twinkle Crisis

Public figures often act to please voters adopting flattering disguises. The piece compares actors like Kate Claxton and Sothern to politicians who rely on a twinkle in the eye as a political prop. It notes Sherman Tilden Grant and others use or despise this device, warning it wears thin and may need a new ploy.
