I don't have the issue # handy, but in looking at some of the old issues I saw that Dennis wrote a pretty amazing article on facial comparison. He tried to get past subjective "look alike" arguments by doing much more objective isolated feature comparison - that is exactly the right thing to do.

Unfortunately back then he did not have access to the information sources that are now more readily available on this subject - so the comparisons he made were not correct (he spoke of "bones in the ear" - there are no bones in the part of the ear we can see). He also went on to claim that a now well-known bogus photo was Ross Barnes. However, as far as the hobby goes it seems he was ahead of his time.
