...feminine face needs leafage," Colette used to say, and regardless of fashion, she wore her hair pulled down over her forehead. Hundreds of photographers presented her to the world masked by her "leafage"-until one day, on her 80th birthday, Vogue's Irving Penn took "a staggering photograph" that left France's greatest authoress "exposed before posterity" (see cut). As if really seeing her for the first time, Colette's husband, Maurice Goudeket, marveled at what lay beneath the leafage-"a huge, domed forehead, like Beethoven's . . . bare, vast, significant, the forehead of a genius...
...botched situation is largely the work of a small, fierce-eyed man with a bulging forehead named Truong Chinh-called "Little Uncle" in recognition of his role as heir apparent to "Great Uncle" Ho Chi Minh. Back in 1951 Truong Chinh was named secretary-general of the Lao Dong (Communist) Party, and launched a ferocious campaign of land reform. His slogan: "Better kill ten innocent people than let one enemy escape."

...PRESIDENCY 'What I'm Going to Do' Into the vortex of the Israel crisis flew the President of the U.S., his forehead deeply furrowed, his mood somber as he alighted from an Air Force Constellation at Washington National Airport in a cold and soaking rain. "This is some weather," he growled to his military and naval aides, hankering back to the vacation he had just cut short in sunny Thomasville, Ga. As he sped off downtown to the White House, Ike huddled down into his tan raincoat, reached often into his left coat pocket for a handkerchief...
...does a lot of listening at these sessions, his sharp blue eyes set deep in a sallow face, with its high cheekbones and bulky forehead, expanded by baldness. It is the face of one who has held stubbornly to his beliefs and acted resolutely upon them. But visitors are often astonished to find him so aged and apparently frail. He seems shorter than his 5 ft. 7 in., older than his 51 years. These are the marks of his lifelong apprenticeship to Communism. Years of imprisonment in his youth left him with a lung ailment, a police bullet has permanently...
