...Hampshire's bald, Scripture-spouting old Senator Charles W. Tobey found a perfect foil for his histrionic talent last week: Joseph P. Ryan, burly, grumpy "lifetime" president of the A.F.L. International Longshoremen's Association. Ryan has not only been indicted for misusing $11,390 in union funds, but has been ordered, on pain of action by his peers in the Federation, to clean up his criminal-ridden waterfront locals in the Port of New York. Nevertheless, on appearing as a witness before Tobey and his waterfront investigation committee, Joe refused to admit that he was heavy with...

Their choice: New York's Nassau County Surrogate Leonard Wood Hall, 52, a tall, bald, former U.S. Representative (1939-52), and onetime chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee (an experience that would be valuable for the national chairman in the 1954 congressional elections...
...mused my roommate, looking with obvious relish at the top of my head, "you're getting bald." "No," I countered, "that's only the way the light strikes. If you stand here with the lamp above your head it'll look just as bad." We changed places. He looked as bushy as ever. "If I were you," he said, picking up a magazine and running a self satisfied hand through his thatch, "I'd see a doctor. No sense in losing it all." "Don't be absurd," I said and angrily smoothed down my hair. "It looks fine when...
