When he finally hung up his spikes in 1963 after 22 wonderful years with the St. Louis Cardinals, Stan Musial, 47, explained that he wanted to "go out while still an asset." That's certainly how Stan the Man wound up his first season as general manager of his old ball club, helping the Cards climb from the National League's second division to a World Series victory over the Boston Red Sox.

And certainly, certainly not Bobby Kennedy, who was once a neat trim but who lately resembles a sheep dog-or maybe a sheep. Presumably long hair is now a political asset, although Washington's most notorious tousle, Everett Dirksen, declines comment as "below the pale." Dirksen is at least known to have visited his barber before the 1952 Republican Convention, at which he appeared in a hairdo that would have thawed a drill sergeant's heart...
