Right before Tom Boyle was about to go on the air on WBAI-FM, I grabbed my camera and handed it to Matt Finch.  I said to Tom, "I hate to act like a fan, but how about a picture?"  Tom, being a veteran of autograph tours, book signings, and other publicity events, grabbed me and spun me around, saying, "Don't take it in front of the window!  It won't come out!"  Then Matt Finch snapped the picture.  Tom was immediately whisked into the studio.  So the pose you see here was held for less than 5 seconds.--TXC
 

Note: Tom Boyle (R) is wearing a promotional T-shirt for his new novel, "A Friend of the Earth."  He is holding a can of Coca-Cola which he requested right before going on the air for his interview with Matt Finch of WBAI-FM 99.5.
