From his Denver jail cell, the nearly bald, swastika-tattooed murder suspect spoke the sort of poker-faced lunacy that the nation hoped it had left behind. "In a war," said Nathan Thill, 19, explaining why he shot defenseless Mauritanian immigrant Oumar Dia, "everyone wearing an enemy uniform is an enemy and should be taken out." Dia's "uniform" was apparently his skin color. Thill's "war," of course, existed only in his head. Or did it?

...shiny symbol of the new era is veejay Matt Pinfield, a bald, overweight, 34-year-old ex-radio station manager and Uncle Fester lookalike whom the Tiger Beat editors consistently overlook.

Sam didn't strain for these bold, indelible moments. They just came naturally to him. Haute Hollywood patronized him--low budgets, no Oscars--and the dominant middlebrow...
...last three mayors--the only three I remember--have been, a short, bald, conspicuously single Jewish man with an at-times painfully irritating voice who went on to bigger and better things as the judge on. "The People's Court"; a soft-spoken African-American liberal lawyer who is now a professor at Columbia; and a widely acknowledged big ole' meany, speculated draft-dodger and adulterer...
