...Violence is one part of human nature. Violence is a part of us all—except Bosley Crowther,” he said, referring to the New York Times critic who denounced “Bonnie and Clyde” as a “cheap piece of bald-faced slapstick comedy” remarkable only for its pointless violence and lack of taste. Penn reacted against critics such as Crowther who, during America’s military engagement in Vietnam, deemed the brutal undertones of his films irrelevant. He also expressed admiration for the young people who tore...

...follicly challenged American male, I certainly enjoyed John Rushin's amusing and informative piece "The Bald Truth" [Nov. 5]. He points out that it is hard, if not impossible, for a bald man to be elected President these days. But we chrome domes have always suffered prejudice and discrimination. Even our Founding Fathers covered their bare heads with powdered wigs, undaunted by the British but cowed by hair loss. Today, however, remembering the noble bird the founders chose to represent our country, more of us refuse to wear rugs. Bald by nature or by our barbers, we proudly expose...
