324.0. "About Face" by VINO::JMUNZER () Wed Feb 18 1987 12:39

    The NY Times proposes a game called "About Face" in which you are
    invited to add to this list:
    
    	Tyne Daly has an arresting face.
    	Madame Curie had a radiant face.
    
    Their readers submitted
    
    	Dr. Spock has a baby face.
    	The Earl of Sandwich had an open face.
    
    and many more.  Would anyone care to contribute?  How about only
    two items per contributor, so we don't get overwhelmed?
