pondering about Anthony Hopkins in 'Amistad'. Think it was a great role to play depicting John Quincy Adams. In that he speaks about comparing a daguerreotype of the late Adams with himself, which is quite believeable. The word 'daguerreotype' is hardly known by folk, let alone used (except for those industrious GRE-preparing hopefulls!!!)
