[Magdalen] Ryan Lochte.

I see that the authorities have suspended Lochte from competitions
for ten months.  That, plus the quick loss of numerous product  endorsements
have exacted a very heavy toll for his drunk and disorderly episode in  Rio.
 
At the same time, he has had a lot of publicity, admittedly of the  negative
kind but he surely has a very high facial recognition in the media as  a
result.  The man simply cannot take a bad picture.  He is, over  and away,
the handsomest swimmer ever, IMHO, and it will be very interesting
to see if he can parley that attribute into something substantial, say,  an
acting or modeling career.
 
On a completely different level of seriousness, his picture taking 
talents remind me of Princess Diana at one end of the spectrum, and
Scott Peterson, the man convicted of killing his pregnant wife and
dumping her body in the Pacific on the other end.
 
Neither of these people could take a bad picture, seemingly.
