Hmmm; in this photo, Kaune looks suspiciously like the Mythical Monkey.
And certainly doesn't look like my stereotyped* image of a hoodlum.
From Wiki: The term stereotype (στερεότυπος) derives from the Greek words στερεός (stereos), "firm, solid"[1] and τύπος (typos), "impression",[2] hence "solid impression".
Damn. Compare this to a picture of Richard Branson or Mark Cuban. In those days thugs dressed better than billionaires do now.
Never knew James Joyce were so cold-blooded.
