2. We all remarked on the stern "Just you wait till I'm off air" glance he seemed to be shooting at the production crew, simultaneously keeping his emotions in check after smoothly fixing an embarrassing problem while also letting those responsible know they were in for it.

4. It's a useful thing to keep in mind, particularly when you look at still photos. We assume that a photograph captures something important about what someone is thinking or feeling, that the way someone looks tells us something important about who they are.
