Hollywood, which is no place to be bald in, is an excellent place for people who claim they can cure baldness. Red-haired Patricia M. Stenz runs a hair and scalp clinic across the street from Hollywood's "Radio City" at Sunset and Vine. She has a theory that all baldness is caused by a fungus. A bald head, says Miss Stenz, is something like athlete's foot, at the other end of the body; it runs in families, as athlete's foot does, not through heredity but because sons catch it from their fathers...
Paroled in 1925, bald, barrel-chested Charlie Ward started at B. & B. as a $25-a-week laborer. In six years he was general manager. When Bigelow died in 1933, he left Ward a third of his $3,000,000 estate and a chance at the presidency of B. & B.

On one sheet he drew a wooden gallows with 13 steps leading to the rope and noose. Beneath it he wrote: "Heil Hitler, ich komme bald" (I'm coming soon). Last week, in the courtyard of the Landsberg prison, Karl Brandt went to his gallows.* With him went six other Nazi doctors and SS officers, including Karl Gebhardt, Himmler's physician, and bearded, Mephistophelean SS Colonel Wolfram Sievers, Military Research Institute head who, among...
...York City's Van Cortlandt Park this week, a serious-faced group of aspirants-with bare legs and a sprinkling of bald heads-lined up for the big tryout in the 10,000-meter walking race. At the start, a few irreverent spectators began to snicker. The walkers, strutting along with exaggerated hip-wiggles, took no notice. They are used to playing to laughs every time they perform...
