...biography. The subject was certainly no cinch. The actor liked to assure his rare interviewers: "Between pictures, there is no Lon Chaney.'' In a large sense, that was so. There was no Chaney. but there was a solitary fisherman, a bodkin-eyed amateur movie cameraman, a proficient wigmaker, a talented musician. Hollywood's hungriest reader-and always, the actor testing his disguises.

...previous shows, Paar complained on camera about cue mix-ups, improper offstage signals and placement of cameras. Casting a withering glance at a cameraman whose lenses were not quite up to Paar, he smirked: "I have no makeup on my belt buckle tonight." And when one show became a shambles, he ad-libbed: "Friends, aren't you glad you tuned in; we've been rehearsing for nine minutes."

For three months Bryson matched guesses with the Weather Bureau, peered disconsolately through smog, cruised 1,668 miles by car, flew uncounted thousands of miles more in prop planes, jets and helicopters (at times dangling out of the belly...
...became a full-fledged "head-hunter," as the trade refers to a photographer who specializes in candid head-and-shoulders shots, and joined the Times's Washington staff in 1945. Winner of more than a dozen awards in White House News Photographers' Association contests, shiny-domed Cameraman Tames shares the President's respect for straight, unretouched pictures that tell a story. The deepening groove between the eyes, the tighter lines of the mouth in each succeeding picture picked by Ike reflect the aging, deeply earnest man whom Eisenhower sees in his own mirror...
