...Constantine, the archbishop, his white beard bobbing, said: "Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thy house, thy children like the olive branches around thy table." The couple then drank three times from an enameled cup of wine, circled the altar in the traditional Dance of Isaiah as rose petals cascaded from the ceiling. As they marched down the aisle, a 101-gun salute began reverberating across the blue hills of Hellas, and all the bells of Athens began to peal...
Mustache is owned by Joel Schiavone, 27, a barefoot boy from Harvard who sports a stubble of raggedy beard. A banjo strummer himself, Joel opened a club in Boston two years ago shortly after graduating from business school.

In 1963, to take advantage of this unique opportunity into the land of the black buggy, the beard and the modest bonnet went Johns Hopkins' Dr. Victor A. McKusick, an epidemiologist as well as a geneticist. And last week at Bar Harbor out came a detailed report on two forms of dwarfism, one recognized only a generation ago, the other brand-new to medical science...
