...long been classified as a disease. The ancient Egyptians tried to cure it with the application of equal dollops of the fat of a lion, a hippopotamus, a crocodile and a serpent. "Ashes of little frogs, applyed suddenly, cureth the Fall of Hair," promised another early recipe. Through the receding centuries, man has tried to treat the bane of baldness with elm-tree bark, watercress, onions, creosote, cholesterol and cortisone...
...especially the Church, with its laughable confessionals and pathetic attempts at education.

They each become a kind of corpulent Santa Claus, dressed in bright seasonal colors and laden with advertisements offering more toys than the elves could make if they were to industrialize the North Pole. There's something very attractive about magazine stands, too, in the winter--especially at night when the snow is falling--something that even transcends the commercialism behind them. There are also a few good articles tucked away in some of those magazines that you might look...
