* NYDN has a preznit
body-language-interpreter. you won't be surprised to learn that my fave items include:
"Rapid eye blinks
What it means: A rise in adrenaline will cause our eyes to go dry, and we'll blink to lubricate them. But when Bush blinks more rapidly than usual, we don't know whether it's because the subject he's addressing is a distressing one or because he's not sure how to talk about it, Bradley said."
and
"Raised, furrowed brow
What it means: 'If the narrow brow is accompanied by rapid eye blinks, lip-licking and forgetting his lines, then we can safely say that adds up to something that is about his nervousness and his lack of conviction about what he’s speaking,' she said."
The NYDN is too polite (or scared) to include:
"Mouth open, words and other noises falling out
What it means: he's lying."
