...most ironic fate of all befell Brillo-bearded Jerry Rubin, 30, a former Berkeley free-speecher and now a yippie leader. To protect himself from police strong-arm tactics, Rubin hired a husky, sledge-fisted Chicagoan known as "Big Bob Lavin," whose beard and bellicosity were matched by his ability at bottle-throwing in confrontations with the cops. Big Bob was gassed by the police, fought them valiantly, but was finally clubbed into submission-carrying with him into jail Rubin's tactical diary.

Geico Insurance Co.'s Washington office frowns on culotte dresses, but refrains from formally banning them because they are often difficult to detect. Many companies, in fact, shy away from hard-and-fast rules on dress, choosing...
...most of his career, Ho Chi Minh has been playing a kind of political character part: power disguised as innocence. A harmless-looking old party with a ridiculous beard and a peasant's jacket, the leader of North Viet Nam conjures up for many people the image of "a Franciscan Gandhi" or "Chaplin at his most affecting." So says Le Monde Journalist Jean Lacouture, who adds: "This is a man so fragile that he seems to survive only by the sheer force of his imagination...
