...stereotypical UC presidential candidate he is not, Waite insists. Dressed in an argyle sweater and tie and sporting a full beard that he described as unkempt, Waite is intent on differentiating himself from the system that he and his running mate Alexandra A. Petri ’10 hope to overthrow...
...Verstrepen. “I was presenting this work here at Harvard and in the audience was an evolutionary biologist by the name of Kevin Foster,” Verstrepen said. “He started jumping around and crying out that this is a ‘green beard gene.’” The “green beard gene” was initially proposed by Oxford evolutionary biologist William D. Hamilton in 1964. The idea helps explain how cooperative behavior can evolve among organisms. Biologists have often asked how cooperation could succeed when...
...Laden is alive. I'll take his word for it. But bin Laden's strange disappearance makes one wonder what exactly happened to him. The last relatively reliable bin Laden sighting was in late 2001.

It wasn't until 1856 that Uncle Sam grew his first beard, which he would alternately gain and lose until Abraham Lincoln was elected President four years later. Through Lincoln, the Union became associated with the image of a tall, lanky man with a beard - an image that transferred, and stuck, to Uncle Sam forever after...
