...true, that legend about Howard Hughes having a druidical beard and toenails two inches long? Indeed it is, according to Bob Rehak, who says that he skippered an 83-ft. yacht that spirited the millionaire recluse from Paradise Island to Miami last February. When Hughes arrived on board, Rehak told the Miami Herald, he was on a stretcher, and his five aides "had him under some sort of dope. He'd open his eyes and they would roll to the back of his head."

(Translation: sauerkraut with local sausage. Beard prefers franks...
...buffoon. In his latest exercise in melodrama, he even permits himself to be outfitted in a sort of jester's motley: outrageous mustard-colored blazer and lavender-trimmed evening clothes. His chin whiskers seem to have been dipped in a vat of Lady Clairol, so his blue beard is colored like a pair of muddy policeman's pants. All that is needed to complete the costume is cap and bells...
