BCherry,

Thanks. I meant to add one more observation. Have seen the David Memet movie House of Games about con-artists? From which I incidentally learned what the word "con-man" means. I am not a native speaker of English you see.

In any case the main con-artist showed that how to spot a "tell". If you study the body language of politicians, this "tell" shows when they are lying. In some of them one can spot a "tell" pretty easily in others it is much harder. In Clinton it is a squinting of the eyes and forward lean when tries convince you of something. The best illustration of it was his famous remark about "that woman". I was not yet practiced enough to spot this thing in Nixon's famous "I am not a crook" statement, but thought that I would give equal time to him. <VBG>

Cheers, Seppo
