If this photo (above right) had been doctored (as the film clip inset above left from the movie Forrest Gump) it would be an amusing lark perhaps found in the back pages of a cheap tabloid magazine .. certainly not in the mainstream media, even momentarily. But it’s there alright, and real … even surreal, but soon (hopefully) to be relegated to the dust bin of historical mementoes of the fleeting bravado of a naïve mind suddenly thrust into the public limelight, totally mesmerized while incapable of entertaining a single serious thought.
