"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."

-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

i learned that when Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, hospital staff cut away his clothing. Finding a laminated card in his suit pocket, they discarded it into his shoe on the floor where it was left unattended. That card was the list of nuclear launch codes (x)

John Adams' Life Mask De-aged.

Witness the authentic visage of John Adams, preserved in his life mask, alongside a de-aged version that envisions how he might have appeared in as a young man. The life mask vividly portrays the impact of aging, revealing the ninety-year-old Adams without teeth, as he chose not to wear dentures.

Although the original life mask provides a exact likeness of Adams' facial features, the de-aged portrait may not perfectly capture his appearance during his younger years.

See more life mask reconstructions of historical figures at yarbs.net.
