Around the Square and in Boston, both men and women flock to the meccas of style in search of that sexy shag or dope ducktail--though men seemed less likely to 'fess up to their vanity...
...herself is a die-hard haircut connoisseur, shopping around from salon to salon. "I get really bored with my hair," she admits, "and I haven't been able to find a place I really love." Her hit list includes the somewhat posh Diego, Leonard Stephen and several on Newbury Street. Currently, her fave is BU-frequented Dellaria on Commonwealth Avenue.

The White House predicts that turning...
...falling: the income streams they provide decline because fund managers must buy new bonds that pay ever lower interest. The $1 billion PIMCO High Yield Fund paid 10[cents] a share in interest income as recently as September. Today it's only 8[cents] a share--a 20% haircut. The decline is largely the result of $200 billion of new money invested at lower interest rates...
