France took a fond pride in its rising young star. Hatless, in rumpled trenchcoat, cigarette dangling, he became a familiar figure along the Boulevard St. Germain, and on his arm there always seemed to be a pretty woman. But life still remained a procession of causes. He resigned from UNESCO when Franco's Spain joined the U.N.; he campaigned for German workers killed by Communist police in East Berlin. Alone in his hotel room, standing at a chest-high desk, he wrote. In 1951 his fiercely anti-Marxist The Rebel burst upon Paris...
Lithe and energetic, crewcut, always hatless and usually coatless in the bitterest weather, Rhoads directed his campaign against cancer with a crusader's zeal. He trod on many toes, was accused of being arbitrary and autocratic, of regimenting his 300 elite researchers and their supporting forces. Dr. Rhoads believed that the public must understand cancer research to support it, talked freely to the press. Subject of a TIME cover (June 27, 1949), he was photographed at the helm of his sailboat. This was what a willful band of little men in the New York County Medical Society had been...
...Hatless and coatless, shock-haired John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Massachusetts' 41-year-old U.S. Senator, stepped smiling from an airliner at Salt Lake City one brisk morning last week. He shook the hand of every politician in sight, some now familiar from his two other Utah visits since 1956, and rode off to address a joint session of the legislature.

With photogenic wife Jacqueline alongside, he paid a cordial call on the Mormon Church...
...city's guide to de rigueur. Unimpeachably masculine (Croix de guerre with citations), he told the dandies of Paris to wear gloves and keep their cigarette-lighter wicks trimmed as acts of thoughtfulness to their ladies. "We must defend Paris," he said, "against the hatless." With full dress there could be no compromise: a dinner jacket was so informal it was a "masterpiece of vulgarity and ugliness." The live-modern age could not be forgiven because it had "killed dilettantism." Tastefully, Le Figaro said of his death: "Andre de Fouquières leaves Parisian life at the dawn...
...rocky, typhoon-tossed island of Culion, a leprosarium 200 miles southwest of Manila, Bachelor Harold Baar awakes, puts on a pair of shorts and tennis shoes, ties a red bandanna around his neck, cooks his breakfast and gets set for a day's work. Shirtless and hatless in the hot sun, he meets with ten afflicted Filipino families, shows them how to plant, plow, repair a tractor, tries to fill them with knowledge that will help them win back respect from the island people who ostracized them...
