Gail Collins does have large, friendly eyes; but her standout feature is her temperament, which includes seeing the humor in every situation, no matter how dire.

Let's contrast Collins with Trump - Trump is humorless, has squinting paranoid eyes, and not only dislikes dogs, but also women who don't look like Miss Universe, and also, Miss Universe herself.  In fact, I don't think Trump likes anyone, except for himself, whom he loves with a passion.  Of course, he needs the rest of us to build his casinos and clubs, and also to buy access to them.  He stiffs the former, and happily pockets the dollars from the latter.  What a guy!  You gotta love him!
